Deleting the directory causes portage to forget about it and its contents. This means you have orphaned files in your build, which could have any number of adverse effects on your final product. Luckily, pam-login is fairly simple, so this isn't that damaging. If you are getting a blocker in stage1, you should do one of two things *only*: 1. Edit your seed stage, by using emerge to merge/unmerge packages 2. Edit your snapshot Things that you should *never* do include trying to modify USE flags, catalyst files, or editing anything in /var/db, as all of these can produce unexpected results in your end product. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
