[m450][root][~]cat /etc/portage/package.mask sys-libs/pam Yes, I know (my system is built without PAM, and I didn't mask it, I removed it, re-emerged shadow and then the system -pam in the first place), but removing PAM if your system is built from default settings is a fairly complex task (though not as complex as it used to be), and a distraction from the original question. Therefore I suggested a quicker solution to solving the original problem (getting one program installed and proceeding with the world update), which was removing the pam dependency for that program only (you can then decide about the rest later). If one wants to remove PAM totally (which is not a bad idea, but opinions vary), there's lots of threads on the forums that provide adequate guidance, from how to remove PAM on a running system, to how to install without it in the first place. in addition to -pam in use, and you will find Gentoo a lot more pleasant. One question... why does OpenOffice *DEMAND* PAM to build from source??? The binary ebuild installs OK without PAM. There's a bug about this. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71898 and the article in the Wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Remove_PAM also discusses this, as well as the similar (previous) issue with GDM, whose ebuild has been updated to make PAM an optional dependency. Myself, I use the binary OOo build anyway; I just didn't have the patience to deal with that long compile, no-pam patch or not (but I did compile OOo-ximian once with the patch, and it built, anyway. Apparently there's some delay in upstream testing and including the patch to make PAM optional. But since they're so close to finishing 2.0, I guess I'm not surprised that they might have other priorities. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

To the original poster: You're problem is because you're trying to install a hard masked version of proftpd, which requires an unstable version of pam. You have two options, as I see it: 1.) install the x86 version of proftpd, which is what I'd do 2.) add net-ftp/proftpd -pam to /etc/portage/package.use and then try the emerge again. -- Kyle England kengland at gentoo dot org Gentoo Infrastructure GnuPG public key ID: 0xC342D18B (pgp.mit.edu) Key Fingerprint: 0130 DF85 DE10 5953 0D50 B51E EC75 ABDF C342 D18B signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-libs/pam-0.78-r2 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - sys-libs/pam-0.78-r1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - sys-libs/pam-0.78 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 Software Availability in the Gentoo Handbook. !!!(dependency required by net-ftp/proftpd-1.2.10-r5 [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild net-ftp/proftpd-1.2.10-r5 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. I am not quite sure what I should do. Unmask something, for use on a server? I don't think so... Does anyone have any ideas, perhaps I made an error in the recent past that caused this? Or, maybe I'm not alone? This isn't an error-- certainly nothing you've done. It's just information inviting you to specify how you want to configure your machine. The version of proftpd you are trying to install depends on a version of PAM that is not available to install (because it is masked by ~arch). Proftpd 1.2.10-r5 is also ~arch, according to eix. So you've unmasked the program, but not its dependency, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense :-) . Either unmask pam, remove pam from the use flags for this package (echo 'net-ftp/proftpd -pam /etc/portage/package.use) so that the package no longer depends on PAM at all, or remask proftpd and install the x86 version, which will presumably depend on a stable version of PAM. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -pv world error
I'd highly recommend you don't add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 to your make file, as this will cause your system to emerge with all ~x86 (testing/unstable) packages upon next emerge. Add this to your /etc/portage/package.keywords: =sys-libs/pam-0.78 then emerge -pv again.

Add this to your /etc/portage/package.keywords: =sys-libs/pam-0.78 then emerge -pv again. I agree that adding ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 is a bad idea if you want to run a (mostly) stable system, but *unmasking PAM is not the only solution!!!* PAM is an *optional* dependency; you can compile the program -pam and still use the unstable proftpd without having to also use an unstable PAM. I admit that I don't know how proftpd will react if the system as a whole is not PAM-free (like mine), but it itself is but since it is optional, it ought to work OK anyway (if PAM was a required dependency for the package, there wouldn't be a USE flag for it; it would just be installed). Or one could just use a stable version of proftpd which would not require an update to PAM, but instead use the version of PAM currently installed. Under Linux, if there's not at least two ways to do something, there's something wrong but under Gentoo, if there's not at least three ways to do something, you've (probably) missed (at least) one. :) Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
