There is only a version 5.5.5 in the portage tree available, but no 5.6.x version. I think this could solve the problem, that kwallet now asks for the password with Plasma 5.6.x after login and first use, which worked with Plasma 5.5.5 on my machine.
Thanks, fixed in git. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=966de36d7155559b234f7272fd84b04360158f26
Thanks Michael, But I am now not longer sure, if to update this package is correct: * Detected file collision(s): * * /lib64/libexec/pam_kwallet_init * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * * Press Ctrl-C to Stop * * kde-plasma/kwallet-pam-5.6.2:5::gentoo * /lib64/libexec/pam_kwallet_init * * Package 'kde-apps/kwalletd-pam-5.6.2' NOT merged due to file * collisions.

But there are now blockers for kde-plasma/kwallet-pam and kde-apps/kwalletd-pam necessary?
I am also getting file collisions now
OK, that didn't work out as planned. It looks like we'll have to introduce a qt4 USE flag on kde-plasma/kwallet-pam instead of splitting the packages. The bump is reverted now. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=e348e38f07f3dac967152edd8c168dd6ca4b5536
I have now uninstalled kde-apps/kwalletd-pam and commented out the superfluous entrys in /etc/pam.d/sddm #-auth optional pam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4 -auth optional pam_kwallet5.so #-session optional pam_kwallet.so -session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start And now after a restart, the applications that use kwallet do not ask for a password again. That had not worked for me with plasma 5.6.1 and 5.6.2, but worked last week with 5.5.5. Thing I notice now kde-apps/kwalletd-pam is slot 4, but we have only version 5.5.5 and 5.6.2
