Created attachment 401004 [details] output of emerge --info When using an encryption algorithm (apparently it does not matter, which one), mcrypt refuses and wants to use a different one because the original one be "not available in OpenPGP encryption". I did not set nor want OpenPGP encryption. Then, mcrypt chooses an algorithm that is NOT in the list of available algorithms (mcrypt --list). This obviously must fail. $ mcrypt -b -a rijndael-192 -m cbc testfile Enter the passphrase (maximum of 512 characters) Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. Enter passphrase: Enter passphrase: Algorithm rijndael-192 is not available in OpenPGP encryption. cast-128 will be used instead. Could not open module

Can someone please verify this?
please try adding --no-openpgp
--no-openpgp makes mcrypt work. A pity this option is not documented (at least I can't find it at the first glance).
Good. You can suggest upstream to document/improve error message, although error message makes sense.
May I suggest at least compiling in the required encrypted schemes for the default setting? It's no use pointing to upstream and keeping a dysfunctional tool. If you close this again, pls use VERIFIED/UPSTREAM. Thx.
