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.
The su command (Substitute User) can be built either by emerging the sys-apps/ util-linux package with USE="su", or by emerging the sys-apps/shadow package similarly. The wiki states "Avoid installing both these commands simultaneously":
