Hi there,

after upgrading my gcc i tried to update my world. The following message appeared:

I thought to unmerge it was "emerge -C", not "emerge -c". Lowercase c is "clean", I believe.

I ran into this too, but I'm a bit confused as to the best approach. I thought pam-login was preferable to shadow. The changelog documentation is a bit unclear. Anyone give an opinion on that, or a place to get a human-based description of which is supposed to take over?

That worked for me a couple of months ago and so I see no reason it shouldn't do this time as well but I won't be rebooting until tomorrow morning.

emerge --buildpkgonly --nodeps shadow && emerge -C pam-login && emerge --usepkgonly shadow

Ennead,

The critical text was in there, that I missed in the changelog: PAM is merging with shadow.

Thanks.

I'm getting the same error. I just synced portage, and tried to update world. Is portage broken?

I just resynched to the most recent snapshot (websynch, behind a firewall and cant runt he usual synch) 20050531, and I still get the error...
