Description Stefan Hausner 2011-01-17 18:54:00 UTC

net-im/ejabberd depends on pam (if pam-useflag is set), but doesn't DEPEND/RDEPEND on it.

At the moment the correct way to depend on pam is virtual/pam unless the
package is linking to libpam_misc.
If it's linking to libpam_misc (which is an extension to the original PAM
specs), then sys-libs/pam should be used (as openpam doesn't provide it).


Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the bug report. All ejabberd ebuilds now RDEPEND on virtual/pam if the pam use flag is set.
