Attempting to merge any packages using the latest portage with SELinux enabled causes an error in setfscreatecon(). This is being generated by the exception handler in _selinux.mkdir(): selinux.setfscreatecon(ctx) try: os.mkdir(target) finally: selinux.setfscreatecon() Explicitly passing None in the final call: selinux.setfscreatecon(None) seems to get rid of the crash and seems to be what was intended. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge any package with an SELinux profile selected. 2. 3. Actual Results: Portage fails on the final merge into the live system with the following error: File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/_selinux.py", line 50, in mkdir selinux.setfscreatecon() TypeError: setfscreatecon() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given) Expected Results: Package should merge successfully. emerge --info: Portage 2.2_rc40 (selinux/2007.0/x86/hardened, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.29-hardened-apollo-4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.29-hardened-apollo-4-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_4_CPU_1.80GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:45:03 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p33 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1, 3.1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.0 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages loadpolicy metadata-transfer parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox selinux sesandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/gentoo.org/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage/layman/hardened-development" SYNC="rsync://ftp.is.co.za/gentoo-portage" USE="X ads apache2 bash-completion bzip2 cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups dbus dri gnome hal hardened iconv isdnlog kerberos ldap mudflap mysql ncurses nls openmp pam pcre perl php pic pppd python readline reflection selinux session spl ssl svg tcpd threads unicode vim-syntax winbind x86 xml xorg zlib" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_default authn_file authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires file_cache filter headers imagemap log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif so userdir" APACHE2_MPMS="worker" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="savage" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
