+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #319283 +++ Analysis of Bug #319283 reveals that: - libwww installs a libmd5.so and .a that contain an RSA based MD5 implementation. - this MD5 implementation (in modules/md5/ in the source tarball) uses "long" for UINT4 in places where it clearly needs 32-bit unsigned integers, but it gets 64-bit integers. The code should be using uint32_t instead. - libwww does NOT install an md5 header file - applications linking against libmd5 fail to operate properly (and obtain fals MD5 checksums) on platforms where long isn't 32 bits.
A patch or fix for that would be really appreciated now that this package is orphan :/
I have just seen this is only an optional dependency of a few packages... maybe we should consider their removal since upstream doesn't maintain it for ages and has some opened bugs :-/
All ebuilds with this as a dependency has been dropped, so we can go ahead with treecleaning.
This package is now removed from the tree.
