[gentoo-user] Does openoffice really require pam?

[gentoo-user] Does openoffice really require pam?

[Alexander Skwar]

Hi!

I'm building a USE=-pam system and thus don't have pam installed.
Now I wanted to compile openoffice and found, that it would install
pam:

server tmp # USE="-*" emerge -vpt app-office/openoffice
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] app-office/openoffice-1.1.4-r1  -curl -hardened -java -kde -nptl -zlib 215,331 kB
[ebuild  N    ]  sys-libs/pam-0.78-r2  -berkdb -nis -pam_chroot -pam_console -pam_timestamp -pwdb (-selinux) 562 kB
[ebuild  N    ]  app-shells/tcsh-6.14  -perl 883 kB

I don't really want to install pam just because of OOo. Does OOo
*REALLY* require pam?

Regards,

Alexander Skwar

No, but tcsh does, and openoffice's build system requires tcsh.

So it's possible to

#emerge -Ca app-shells/tcsh
#emerge -p --depclean
[have a nice reading]
#emerge --depclean

To get rid of them after them after ?

Couldn't you use the binary ooo package to avoid the build-time dependency?

Is that really true. The simple experiment I just did (below), I
interpreet as it's openoffice that wants pam.

23:52:25 poke:~ $sudo emerge -Dpv openoffice

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-libs/pam" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-libs/pam-0.78-r2 (masked by: package.mask)
- sys-libs/pam-0.77-r8 (masked by: package.mask)
- sys-libs/pam-0.77-r6 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!!    (dependency required by "app-office/openoffice-1.1.4-r1" [ebuild])

23:52:33 poke:~ $sudo emerge -Dpv tcsh

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] app-shells/tcsh-6.14  +perl 0 kB

Taken from the OOo ebuild

DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        >=sys-apps/findutils-4.1.20-r1
        app-shells/tcsh
        dev-util/pkgconfig
        curl? ( net-misc/curl )
        zlib? ( sys-libs/zlib )
        sys-libs/pam
        !dev-util/dmake
        java? ( >=virtual/jdk-1.4.1 )
        !java? ( dev-libs/libxslt )"

thus is OOo thats bringing in pam.

I suppose, if you don't want pam, you could try removing the
sys-libs/pam line from the ebuild and seeing what happens :)

No, it certainly does not need pam.  Have a look at 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71898, especially Comment 
#6.
