sys-auth/pam_skey requires rpcgen to build. On a system without USE nis and net-libs/libnsl, this tool is not available, unless using the rpcgen version which can be provided by net-fs/nfs-utils. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build without NIS support, masking net-libs/libnsl and net-libs/rpcsvc-proto 2. Try to merge sys-auth/pam_skey 3. If fails because of lacking rpcgen tool Actual Results: Build failure Expected Results: Build may be possible if we have net-fs/nfs-utils provided with internal rpcgen option selected.

Created attachment 824591 [details, diff] Ebuild patch to allow use of rpcgen tool provided by net-fs/nfs-utils
(In reply to Jocelyn Mayer from comment #0) > sys-auth/pam_skey requires rpcgen to build. > <....> After more test, I'm not actually sure that rpcgen is still used by this package. What is sure is that it builds without the need of having net-libs/libnsl installed and this does not lead to missing symbols in the pam module.
Please attach the failed build.log.

Looks like a spurious configure check for gethostbyname which isn't needed. This should be fixed in -r7.

Please attach a build.log showing it. Sorry, it seems I first did my patch too quickly, copying from other packages which actually require rpcgen tool; but the actual problem wasn't there... > > > What is sure is that it builds without the need of having net-libs/libnsl > > installed and this does not lead to missing symbols in the pam module. > > Good catch.

I wasn't able to find any reference to gethostbyname in the code. Patching the configure.in to remove this check made me able to build without any issue nor missing symbol in the resulting library. Just saw the commit. Thanks !
