(This bug seems to be the same as #98386 and #85069, but I'm not allowed to reopen them.) I have the problem with pam_cracklib depending on libs in /usr. When emering pam-0.78-r2 I get the following messages at the end: * Checking if all modules were built... * ERROR: pam_cracklib have dependencies in /usr. This is because there is indeed a dependency to cracklib in /usr/lib: taylor ~ # ldd /var/tmp/portage/pam-0.78-r2/work/Linux-PAM-0.78/modules/pam_cracklib/pam_cracklib.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libcrack.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrack.so.2 (0xb7f79000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb7f4b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7e31000) libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0xb7e29000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7e25000) Reemerging cracklib didn't help it was still installing cracklib into /usr/lib and therefore emerging pam still didn't work. emerge --info: Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled]ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.2.3-r5, 2.3.5-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" LANG="de_DE@euro" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi alsa apache2 avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cscope cups curl doc dvd eds emboss encode examples fam flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif gnome gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile hal howl imagemagick imlib ipv6 jack jpeg junit libg++ libwww lirc mad maildir mikmod mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline ruby samba sdl slang speex spell sqlite ssl tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis xine xml xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Hmm it turned out that I had /usr/lib/libcrack.so.2 and /usr/lib/libcrack.so.2.7 on my box. The 2 files were not listed as contents of the cracklib package. I don't really know why I had them. Anyway removing them and reemerging cracklib and pam after that worked.
