 Can't update because A is blocking B I just tried to do an emerge --update --world, and it failed because sys-apps/pam-login (is blocking sys-apps/shadow-4.0.15-r2) I googled for that message, and the advice is "remove the blocking package". I removed pam-login, but that meant my system didn't have a /bin/login anymore. Last I checked that was sort of vital, so I re-emerged pam-login. How do you figure out what to do in situations like this? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Did I say I was a at sardine? Or a bus??? visi.com      |

Read the changelogs. For shadow it says that it takes over the functionality of pam-login. So after upgrading shadow there is no need to re-emerge pam-login anymore (but you might want to run revdep-rebuild, just to be sure). |

Remove pam-login, emerge shadow, and you will be ok. Don't shutdown the system until you've emerged the new shadow package and verified you can log in from a new virtual terminal or you will have to use the live cd to fix things. |
