Bug 318121 – sys-auth/openpam-20071221 doesn't install on Gentoo/FreeBSD 8.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description MT 2010-05-02 10:32:08 UTC]

I got this install error when emerging sys-auth/openpam-20071221:

   usr/lib/libpam.so.2.0.0

The oddity is that the installation phase doesn't fail at all as the ebuild is missing a '|| die' statement and the package is partially installed (all headers are missing) leading to a lot compilation errors from all the packages that require openpam's headers.

I don't know how to fix the problem (seems that libtools is not able to relink pam_deny.so) but attached there is an ebuild patch for a cleaned and improved ebuild:

- added EAPI3;
- removed 'flag-o-matic' eclass as isn't used inside the ebuild;
- added a die statement to the 'emake install' phase;
- removed the die statement from econf;

Hope it's useful.
