emerge -uDvp system gave me

Then I unmerged pam-login imprudently. Ooops, then I could not login from console anymore, though login by ssh or gdm is still fine.
So what's the problem here? How to resolve the confliction between pam-login and shadow?
Thanks!

Mingfeng,
I got this problem too, all you should need to do is emerge the new version of shadow, 4.0.14-r3.
See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125419#c14
