Actually, don't do that. Alan gave the right answer, but it seems that
my portage tree was just a few days out of date. flameeyes just
removed the dependency for pwdb from pam. (See my other reply for the
message.

So this might actually explain why depclean and equery depends gave
you different answers: one was reading the new entry for pam in the
tree, and one was reading the old entry for (the same version... why
didn't they bump the version?) pam in /var/db. And since the version
was not bumped, your emerge --update world or whatever did not think
to rebuild pam (and copy the new ebuild to /var/db).... 

A weird incident at that. 

Best wishes,
