[Filesystems-devel] Bug#764927: ecryptfs-utils: Built against NSS, depends and build-depends on gcrypt seem to be superfluous

[Andreas Metzler]

Package: ecryptfs-utils
Version: 103-3
Severity: minor

Hello,

ecryptfs-utils build-depends on libgcrypt11-dev and libecryptfs-dev
also depends on the package.  However afaict ecryptfs-utils is not
using lgcrypt but NSS nowadays:

---------------
ametzler at argenau:/tmp/RDEPGNUTLS/ecryptfs-utils-103$ grep -rli gcry
configure.ac
debian/control
configure
src/utils/Makefile.in
src/utils/Makefile.am
src/key_mod/Makefile.in
src/key_mod/Makefile.am
src/daemon/Makefile.in
src/daemon/Makefile.am
---------------

i.e. there are no invocations of gcrypt functions. The matches in
configure* are in a comment/description, and the ones in Makefile.* are
for $(LIBGCRYPT_CFLAGS)/$(LIBGCRYPT_LIBS) which afaict is never set.
I think from browsing over configure.ac that gcrypt is not a supported
crypto backend anymore but used to be.

Checking what happens when building ecryptfs-utils without
libgcrypt11-dev installed seems to confirm my reading, the relevant
pieces of the buildlog do not change.
