Thanks. I didn't know about the zeromq dependency. Before I submit a
new patch, do you know of an easy way to figure out what other
packages have a hidden dependency like this?

I looked at it. I'm not a zeromq user, so I don't really understand
why someone would want to have libsodium support disabled if they have
it. It seems simpler for now to make sure the dependency is there in
BR if libsodium is enabled. Maybe this is more of a desktop need?

Thanks,
Frank
