As this is mine I'll just comment. The problem should be now fixed in sys-auth/pam_userdb, that inherits the berkdb code from pam-0.78. But pam-0.99 is not yet ready for prime time, so waiting for now. 0.78 is no more in tree. |
The following ebuilds/eclasses are using the almost deprecated gnuconfig_update function from gnuconfig.eclass: ./sys-libs/pam/pam-0.78-r3.ebuild: gnuconfig_update ./sys-libs/pam/pam-0.78-r5.ebuild: gnuconfig_update This might be due by various reasons, and some of them cannot be worked around at the current time, so please find your case in the following list: * the ebuild does not use econf, but ./configure, because it uses a very old version of autoconf that does not support the parameters we pass; [1] * the software use config.{guess,sub} although not using autotools, thus econf cannot be used; [1] * the ebuild uses ./configure just for fun; [2] * the ebuild uses ../configure or variants thereof to run a different configure script than the one in the current directory; [3] * the ebuild uses an autogen script or some other autotools-rebuilding script that calls ./configure; [4] * the ebuild calls ./configure because it's doing an inline-build of another package. [1] Then see the procedure to handle this bug: [1] You cannot drop gnuconfig_update, so please leave the bug open, but set the status whiteboard to "Waiting autoepatch". [2] Fix the ebuild, use econf! [3] econf accepts a ECONF_SOURCE variable to tell it to run the configure found in another directory; to run ../configure just use ECONF_SOURCE=".." econf. [4] Fix your autotools with http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml adnd then use econf. Once you're using econf, it will take care of updating gnuconfig by itself. Thanks from Diego and Mike
