pam_mount dependency cryptsetup blocked ... [SOLVED]

[daemonflower]

Hi,

I am using pam_mount to automatically decrypt a partition encrypted with cryptsetup-luks.

pam_mount depends on sys-fs/cryptsetup though, which is mutually exclusive with sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks. When installing pam_mount, I worked around this issue with emerge --nodeps pam_mount, then manually emerging its dependencies sans sys-fs/cryptsetup. Now that a new version of pam_mount is out, this conflict blocks my emerge -uD world.

Of course I can pull the same trick again - emerge pam_mount's dependencies, emerge --nodeps pam_mount, then emerge -u world. There are two drawbacks though: First this process is a bit tedious, and second (and worse), pam_mount's dependency on cryptsetup remains, so I can never emerge -uD world again.

Ah yes, emerging pam_mount with the "crypt"-USE flag disabled does not help.

Any help in working around this? Am I missing something? I'm asking here before I file a bug...

As of 1.0.5, sys-fs/cryptsetup is cryptsetup-luks, so just update to sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.5 or greater.
