no one change the summary until the bugzilla peeps can figure out what's up with it
i fixed the problem by: emerge -C db emerge pam emerge db :o) now everything works! http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=134374&highlight=vsftpd
Looks fixed by the user, this bug is 8 months old anyways. Bugger if it is recurring. -Jeffrey
