I'm trying to install the courier-suite (version 0.58.0 from Bernd Wurst) on 
one of my testservers.
When I run "emerge --verbose --pretend --tree courier" I get the following 
output:

What I can't understand is why emerge is trying to emerge ssmtp. I see that 
gnupg-2.0.7-r1 has a RDEPEND on virtual/mta which courier and ssmtp PROVIDE. 
Can someone share som light why emerge doesn't use the PROVIDE="virtual/mta 
virtual/mda virtual/imapd" line in courier-0.58.0.ebuild.

Because at the time gnupg is to emerge, courier is not installed, so it
uses the default mta, which is ssmtp. You could try

USE="-crypt" emerge courier

to install it without needing gnupg, then emerge it normally. Then gnupg
will be pulled in, but courier will already satisfy the virtual/mta
dependency.

No, you *can't* call 999 now. I'm downloading my mail.
