Description jim_jim33 2003-12-08 08:38:36 UTC

net-ftp/curl currently depends on sys-libs/pam, but I'm not sure that it needs
to.  PAM is never mentioned anywhere in curl's configuration script, and an ldd
against /usr/bin/curl and /usr/lib/libcurl.so.2.0.2 don't show any PAM-related
libraries linked.  When the dependancy is removed, curl compiles fine on a
system that does not have pam installed.

If there is some non-obvious reason for depending on PAM, is it possible to make
it respect use flags?  For those of us building pam-less systems...

Reproducible: Always
