Problem getting PAM free system [solved]

[nirax]

Hi,

after the hassle with PAM 0.99 upgrading, i checked if i actually require PAM for private use and the answer for me was: no.
So i started to check and quickly found this guide:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Remove_PAM

i followed it
1) added -pam to make.conf
2) performed:
# emerge -C pam pam-login && emerge -N shadow
3)
# dispatch-conf
4)
# vim /etc/login.defs (changed wheel setting as suggested in howto)
5)
# echo "root:ALL EXCEPT GROUP wheel:DENY" >> /etc/suauth
# -> OK all sudo / su works again

6) than
# emerge -av --oneshot --nodeps `qdepends -CQ pam | sed 's/^/=/'`
in order to re-emerge every package depending on pam
7)
# emerge -uDN world
revdep-rebuild

OK now everything should and seems to run pam free.


now the problem occurs:

eix-sync && emerge -uDva world
what comes up ?

Code: Select all

emerge -uDva world
Virtual package in package.provided: virtual/x11-6.8
See portage(5) for correct package.provided usage.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-libs/pam-0.99.8.1-r1  USE="cracklib nls -audit (-selinux) -test -vim-syntax" 0 kB 

uh ? come on what pulls it still?

Code: Select all

equery d pam

sys-auth/consolekit-0.2.3 (pam? virtual/pam)
sys-process/vixie-cron-4.1-r10 (pam? virtual/pam)

uhm did i not just recompiled it ?

Code: Select all

qdepends -CQ pam
sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1

qdepends lists shadow as dependant on PAM ?, while equery shows up the whole old application tree (which were pam dependant before shifting to PAM. on step 6 also qdepends showed the same list as equery and thus recompiled it with -pam use flag.

Code: Select all

emerge -vp shadow

See portage(5) for correct package.provided usage.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1  USE="cracklib nls -nousuid -pam (-selinux) -skey" 0 kB 

Use flag shows well -pam.
I dont see
1) why equery and qdepends show different state.
2) why shadow pulls after qdepends PAM.
or 3) why PAM is still beeing required after following the howto


does anyone has an idea to it ? would be most appreciated.

most interesting i just tried an

emerge -pv --depclean and the output was
.......

Code: Select all

Calculating dependencies... done!

Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
the following required packages not being installed:

>=sys-libs/pam-0.78 required by net-mail/mailbase-1

mailbase-1 requires it ? how comes the other dependency tools do not show it up hm

moreover it really used PAM use flag (as PAM or -PAM), but was not treated by newuse world, or qdepends when i piped the output ?

Code: Select all

emerge -vp mailbase

[nirax]

that was the problem-maker..

Code: Select all

emerge --update --newuse mailbase

emerge -uDva world

No PAM pulling anymore. => solved,.
