not sure, but i think this dependencies can be removed from an ebuild

also this is probably required --with-pam-prefix=/etc
Comment 1 Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-03-28 08:04:36 UTC
Some more description for rationale of change would be helpful, does these potentially excessive dependencies cause blockers, are there any links to changes in features so they are no longer needed, etc. "not sure, but i think this dependencies can be removed from an ebuild" doesn't seem too researched, have you tested it?
