Where does equery get that from? emerge -e pam doesn't show pwdb as a dependency. In fact, the ebuild checks whether you are using the pam_pwdb module, and if you do, warns you about it. I for my part just removed pwdb, and I can still log in as if nothing happend. (Also after a reboot.) Also, I'd thought that emerge --depclean has matured enough so that > you don't get weird stuff like depclean telling you pwdb is save to > remove, while equery tells you there's a hard dependency. I think emerge --depclean is safe after emerge -DuN world, if you run revdep-rebuild afterwards. ~Henry
