Yeah, time for waiting. |

I happen to know a bit of what's going on (I skim the Gentoo git log daily and |
| 18 |
read gentoo-dev), so here's a recap (from memory, so I might get a detail or |
| 19 |
two wrong): The virtual was there for the Gentoo BSD profile(s?), which had |
| 20 |
their own PAM implementation, and which were recently removed (they were |
| 21 |
horribly outdated and apparently nobody is working on the Gentoo/BSD project |
| 22 |
anymore). Because of that, sys-libs/pam is now the only provider of the |
| 23 |
virtual and is replacing it in *DEPENDS. That makes the virtual redundant, so |
| 24 |
the last step is to remove it. Apparently not everything has been moved over |
| 25 |
yet, or maybe some stabilizations are still not finished, in any case I |
| 26 |
wouldn't worry about it, it might be resolved by the next sync. |
