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!
