It's not a huge problem. Just a little weird. I thought I'd log it in case it

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




magpie ~ # qpkg -f /bin/login
sys-apps/pam-login *
sys-apps/shadow *
magpie ~ # qpkg -I -v shadow
sys-apps/shadow-4.0.5-r2 *
magpie ~ # qpkg -I -v pam-login
sys-apps/pam-login-3.14 *
magpie ~ # 


(Not sure which package it belongs to).
