Normally I would say unmerge the blocks and emerge the blockers and
update them first.  However, I'm not sure about that pam-login one.  If
you do unmerge that one, do NOT logout until you have it updated.  I
would recommend switching to another console and logging in to make sure
it works too.

Oh no, is that the one I think it is.  You may want to search the forums
for the expat update.  Let me know if you can't find it.  Has it been a
while since you updated?

Maybe someone else will see something else and chime in.
