Bug 9502 – pwdb 0.61-r3 places an extra copy of libpwdb.a in /usr/lib

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Alan 2002-10-22 13:03:17 UTC]

When pwdb 0.61-r3 compiles, it places identical libpwdb.a files in both /lib/
and /usr/lib/  For some reason, the copy in /usr/lib/ prevents pam 0.75-r8 from
compiling because it failed with the following errors:

I found that removing the copy in /usr/lib/ would allow pam to compile properly.
