Description Petter Urkedal 2009-10-03 11:46:10 UTC

app-misc/screen depends on ">=sec-policy/selinux-base-policy-20050821" which is incompatible with the new numbering of SELinux policies used on the selinux/v2refpolicy profiles.  I think this dependency no longer needs to be listed, since "<sec-policy/selinux-base-policy-20050821" no longer exists in portage.

Yes, I know the profile is unstable.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. eselect profile set selinux/v2refpolicy/amd64/desktop
2. emerge screen

Actual Results:  
Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sec-policy/selinux-base-policy-20050821" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sec-policy/selinux-base-policy-20080525-r1 (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/selinux/v2refpolicy/package.mask:
# force version 2.YYYYMMDD policy over version YYYYMMDD policy

- sec-policy/selinux-base-policy-20080525 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "app-misc/screen-4.0.3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "screen" [argument])


Expected Results:  
Successful emerge.

I've dropped the dependency on selinux-base-policy.
