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.
