Hi all,

a few days ago I saw someone on the list advise the use
of debfoster for removing packages that had been installed
as dependencies of no longer present packages, and I decided
to give it a try, and it broke msmtp-ssl (I can no longer use
it nor rebuild it).

First, debfoster seems to have removed (at least) one package
needed for msmtp, because when I try to send an e-mail I get
the following error message:
dyld: msmtp can't open library: /sw/lib/libgsasl.7.dylib  (No such file or
+directory, errno = 2)

(indeed I remember debfoster proposing me to remove packages with
gsasl9 in their names, and I accepted)

I therefore tried to rebuild msmtp-ssl.
It claimed it needed the following packages:
The following package will be rebuilt:
 msmtp-ssl
The following 10 additional packages will be installed:
 gnutls gnutls-shlibs gsasl9 gsasl9-dev libgpg-error libidn libidn-shlibs
 libtasn1 libtasn1-shlibs lzo

Then  the build failed on gnutls (I think) with the following
error:
<snip>

Removing fink-buildlock-gnutls-1.2.4-1 ...

A second run of 'fink install msmtp-ssl' ended with the same
error.

I have made a query on the mailing list archives for libpth.la,
as it seems the key problem here, and I got no results.
Does anyone have clue on how I might solve this?

Additionally, I would like to know if there are any special
precautions to take when using debfoster? Did I do something
wrong when using it? (I just launched the command 'debfoster'
and answered yes or no when it prompted me to keep or remove
packages)

---------
