Thanks for pointing this out.

These dependencies just seem to be out of date.

According to [1], msmtp hasn't required gnome-keyring since 1.6.0.  It's 
capable of using libsecret instead, but our package doesn't seem to be 
built with support for that.

Additionally, 1.6.6-1 is built against libgnutls30, but libgnutls28 is 
listed as dependency.

I adjusted these dependencies on sourceware.

Jari,

Please check your local copy and/or double-check these going forwards.

Also, msmtp 1.6.6-1 doesn't seem to have been built for x86, at all.

Thanks.
