Apparently, though unproven, at 05:03 on Friday 06 May 2011, Kfir Lavi did
opine thusly:
Hi,
emerge -vpt -e system
...
[nomerge ] sys-apps/shadow-4.1.4.3 USE=cracklib nls pam -audit
(-selinux) -skey
You used --tree
That line is probably part of some other packages dep graph. Look lower down,
the correct line is somewhere else in the list
...
The problem is that there is no shadow in my system.
emerge -pvt sys-apps/shadow
...
[ebuild N] sys-apps/shadow-4.1.4.3 USE=cracklib nls pam -audit
(-selinux) -skey 0 kB
[ebuild N] virtual/pam-0 0 kB
[ebuild N] sys-auth/pambase-20101024 USE=cracklib sha512
-consolekit -debug -gnome-keyring -minimal -mktemp -pam_krb5 -pam_ssh
-passwdqc (-selinux) 0 kB
[ebuild N] sys-libs/pam-1.1.3 USE=berkdb cracklib nls -audit
-debug (-selinux) -test -vim-syntax 0 kB
...
So why shadow will not install when running 'emerge -e system' (same is for
world)?
Thanks,
Kfir
