Gentoo: sys-apps/pam-login blocking sys-apps/shadow
The Gentoo Forums are littered with posts regarding this issue.# emerge -uDvaN world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
....
[blocks B ] sys-apps/pam-login (is blocking sys-apps/shadow-4.0.14-r2)
...The best result so far has been the following command from ecatmur's forum post:
emerge --buildpkgonly --nodeps shadow && emerge -C pam-login && emerge --usepkgonly shadowThe general consensus is that the pam use flag (USE="pam" in make.conf") should also exist - this will prevent any issues with logging in.
