Description Thomas 2004-10-04 01:16:18 UTC

The packages courier-imap and qpopper collide in /etc/pam.d/pop3. The version from qpopper is broken because it uses pam_pwdb.so. The version from courier-imap works fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install and use qpopper - this does not work because it uses pam_pwdb.so which does not exist
2. emerge courier-imap, /etc/pam.d/pop3 is usable, qpopper starts to work
3. re-emerge qpopper, /etc/pam.d/pop3 is messed up again
4. re-emerge courier-imap, qpopper works again

Actual Results:

emerge sys-libs/pam with "pwdb" useflag will install pam_pwdb.so

# emerge pam -vp
...
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/pam-0.77-r1  +berkdb -debug +pwdb (-selinux) 0 kB
...

# qpkg -l pam | grep pam_pwdb.so
/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

If you don't want to use pam's pwdb then modify your /etc/pam.d/pop3 to suit yourself.
