After emerge -uD world, some applications started failing, kde arts could not start soundserver, su could not find a module, etc. Turns out that pam was not updated. Doing an emerge -s ^pam showed that an update was ready, but it was not coming in. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -uD world (on 2005-07-08) 2. log in as user 3. su or start kde Actual Results: su shows module not found error kde's arts cannot start soundserver: permission denied on device default Expected Results: both should work and and pam 0.78 should be emerged Marking as major since pam-0.78 really should be emerged
pam-0.78-r2 is not masked stable for most arcs (I presume you are an x86 user). Reemerge the package that complains, or run revdep-rebuild to fix your system if you have lots of programs that is unable to link to .so files.
My tree just got 0.78-r2 marked stable. How does emerge -uDpt sys-apps/pam-login look for you?
This morning, when I ran emerge -uD world, both shadow-4.0.7-r2 and pam-login-3.17 were emerged. Pam-0.78 was not part of the mix. This, I think caused the malfunction. revdep-rebuild showed nothing out of the ordinary other than the usual openoffice.bin and firefox.bin which is expected. I am sure this is just a transient problem, but I wanted to report it anyway. For me, I had to manually emerge -u pam. And yes, I have x86.
(In reply to comment #3) > For me, I had to manually emerge -u pam. And yes, I have x86. Hmm, we can't really find the cause of the problem now that you've upgraded man manually. Closing.
