[OE-core] pam related dependency processing bug?

[Janne Karhunen]

Hi,

Wonder if you guys can share some insights on how to debug this case.
I have a legacy PAM module recipe that says:

DEPENDS_${PN} = "libpam"

'pam' is listed in DISTRO_FEATURES and is working fine. However, for
that pam module libpam dependency is silently dropped during the
build. If PAM happens to be compiled before that module, everything is
fine, but if not, build fails on missing pam headers.

To make this interesting, 'bitbake -g -u depexp <module>' shows the
libpam dependency in place - yet it clearly is not there during the
build. Results are the same for both dizzy and daisy and host OS
doesn't seem to make a difference either.
