Yves, great, I'll see if I can get the Portfile to use gnupg2 instead of
gnupg. Is the kerberos5 MacPort not really used much by anyone now? I see
that Apple now includes a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) in Mac OS X
Server (I think starting with 10.3 - Panther) which might suffice for most
people, although some of the MacPorts can be built with the "kerberos"
variant which then indeed depends on the kerberos5 MacPort having been
installed. I see there is also an implementation of Kerberos which is
available in MacPorts as the heimdal port. Do most in the MacPorts community
now have a preference for the heimdal port over the kerberos5 port?

Thanks,

T.M.
