Description Bruno 2023-08-23 13:49:40 UTC

swaylock installs file /etc/pam.d/swaylock even while USE=-pam.

This then disturbs xscreensaver-7.05's configure:
if test "$with_pam_req" = yes -a "$have_pam" = no ; then
  warn 'Use of PAM was requested, but it was not found.'
  CONF_STATUS=1
elif test "$have_pam" = no ; then
  if test -d /etc/pam.d -o -f /etc/pam.conf ; then
    warn  "Your system seems to have PAM, but PAM is not being used."
    warn2 "That is probably not going to work out well."
    CONF_STATUS=1
  fi
fi
that fails in a hard to spot way, as it has USE=-pam too and the message just looks like a warning rather than an error.

Reproducible: Always

This still applies to swaylock-1.7.2.
