Well, the docs page on the upgrade to pam-0.99 is complete, I updated severala machines no problem with it. So you must have muffed the instructions. Next time, read the whole page. Meanwhile, boot off a LiveCD or some other medium. or maintenance mode, chroot into gentoo and find all packages that depend on pam: equery depends pam or maybe euse -i pam then re-emerge all those packages. Don't think that revdep-rebuild will fix this for you, it probably won't as it's not a linking issue you have. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- [email protected] mailing list
