Is that really true. The simple experiment I just did (below), I interpreet as it's openoffice that wants pam. 23:52:25 poke:~ $sudo emerge -Dpv openoffice These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies - !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-libs/pam" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-libs/pam-0.78-r2 (masked by: package.mask) - sys-libs/pam-0.77-r8 (masked by: package.mask) - sys-libs/pam-0.77-r6 (masked by: package.mask) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. !!!
