   Hi, regarding Mageia Linux I am working on, I get   
      
   needed:              available in distro:   
      
   readline             lib64readline-devel   
   libunistring         lib64unistring-devel   
   gnutls               lib64gnutls-devel   
   tcp_wrappers         tcp_wrappers   
                        (no devel, executables in /usr/sbin:   
                        safe_finger; tcpd; tcpdchk; tcpdmatch; try-from)   
   libltdl              lib64ltdl-devel   
   libgsasl             lib64gsasl-devel   
      
   So, except "tcp_wrappers", the package seems to be builable?   
      
   Thanks a lot!
