 GPG depends on ssmtp, why? I am trying to understand why GPG would depend on ssmtp. I don't want ssmtp on my system. Can I unmerge it after emerging gpg? # emerge -p gnupg These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] net-mail/ssmtp-2.48 [ebuild U ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.3-r3 [1.2.3-r2] #      |

Your system does need _some_ MTA installed. ssmtp is a very basic and simplistic psuedo-MTA for handling local mail. -- Jon Portnoy avenj/irc.freenode.net #gentoo, irc.oftc.net #cola Opinions expressed are my own, not those of Gentoo Linux or any other entity I am associated with unless stated otherwise. |

I currently have none. I send out email with ssh to another machine: "ssh user@machine.edu /usr/lib/sendmail" Since basic GPG shouldn't require anything related to email, I'll venture a guess that the ebuild is enabling some extra features which do. Is there a workaround? Perhaps I can make a dummy /usr/lib/sendmail? I guess I could always unmerge GPG and manually compile it. I specifically don't want ssmtp or any sendmail because I used to get console errors of some process trying to use it which I didn't like and couldn't figure out so I unmerged it and the problem went away. Thanks. |
