Description David Michael 2020-06-18 14:04:53 UTC

The new PAM 1.4.0 version uses tmpfiles.eclass, which creates a dependency loop:

pam -> tmpfiles -> systemd -> pam

The RDEPEND="virtual/tmpfiles" in tmpfiles.eclass is only for the tmpfiles_process function, which should be switched to IDEPEND for EAPI 8 (and probably RDEPEND+BDEPEND for EAPI 7).  That will fix the loop when building a sysroot and PAM is migrated to EAPI 8.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -v '>=sys-libs/pam-1.4.0'  # in a new sysroot

Actual Results:  
It won't build due to the above dependency loop.

Expected Results:  
It should build and install.

Surely we can not wait until EAPI=8

I went back to the manual creation, thank you!.
