To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" X-Archives-Salt: 11344333-c09b-400a-80f1-6ec865240b7d X-Archives-Hash: e907b3448d00a651fb3842debd759be9 I skipped updating my profile from 17 to 23 in the beginning of June 2024 and are now installing Gentoo anew. I have disabled pam use flag globally and now portage complains that for the package linux-utils "the following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: su? ( pam )" I have tried and found out that that package will compile if I also disable the su user flag. However, I do not understand the consequences. The explanation of the su user flag says that with +su user flag linux-utis will be compiled into "the su program" Can somebody explain to me what it means? Thank you.
