In these cases it would be best to push the decision upstream. If anyone's concerned about the introduction of lib32-db: it was necessitated by lib32-jack after the latest jack release, which introduced a new API (for naming connections) that is dependent upon BDB. I wasn't aware of this dependency while updating jack (and the build went smoothly without any hint of requiring db), so neither jack nor lib32-jack is in the rebuild list. I won't be adding them to the list now, as the dependency is unavoidable. Upstream in this case would probably never require db6, and if v5 does get dropped from our repos (due to major security concerns or whatsoever) I can work with them to make the API opt-in. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

For pam it is only used for pam_userdb.so module. It's not active in the default /etc/pam.d/ files so probably we can just drop it. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tp...@archlinux.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
