So I tried installing GnuPG on a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE system. It doesn't
work without pinentry installed.
Okay, I can handle that. No big deal. Apparently GnuPG 2.x requires a
separate utility for password handling now. No big deal. I run
portinstall pinentry.
At this point, I notice something very, very odd: pinentry won't install
because of a problem with Qt.
Why the heck would GnuPG ultimately depend on Qt in any way?
