I'm setting up a media server and cleaning out unnecessary packages (mythtv) so I was removing libselinux, libsemanage, checkpolicy, selinux-openvpn and openvpn. I check of all other depends for selinux libs/utils came up nill. Then I hit this error: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=athlon-mp -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -o gnome-power-preferences gpm-hal.o gpm-debug.o gpm-prefs.o gpm-prefs-core.o gpm-marshal.o gpm-dbus-system-monitor.o gpm-dbus-session-monitor.o gpm-common.o gpm-screensaver.o -pthread -pthread /usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.so -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/libbonoboui-2.so /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so /usr/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.so /usr/lib/libgnome-2.so /usr/lib/libesd.so /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so /usr/lib/libasound.so /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so /usr/lib/libbonobo-2.so /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so /usr/lib/libgnutls.so /usr/lib/libtasn1.so /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so -lresolv -lselinux -lutil /usr/lib/libbonobo-activation.so /usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming-2.so /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so /usr/lib/libpopt.so /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so /usr/lib/libexpat.so /usr/lib/libwnck-1.so /usr/lib/libstartup-notification-1.so /usr/lib/libSM.so /usr/lib/libICE.so /usr/lib/libXRes.so /usr/lib/libXext.so /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so /usr/lib/libcairo.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so /usr/lib/libxml2.so /usr/lib/libdirectfb.so /usr/lib/libfusion.so /usr/lib/libdirect.so /usr/lib/libpng12.so -lz /usr/lib/libxcb-render-util.so /usr/lib/libxcb-render.so /usr/lib/libxcb.so /usr/lib/libXrender.so /usr/lib/libX11.so /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so /usr/lib/libXau.so /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so -ldl -lm /usr/lib/libhal.so /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so -lnsl /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so -lpthread -lrt /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lselinux collect2: ld returned 1 exit status clearly, something in gnome-power-manager either needs or wants selinux libs.

Actual Results: Linker error against libselinux and possibly libsemanage. Expected Results: clean build/install
please attach your emerge --info btw there is no way libselinux would be installed without you requiring it in the first place. So either you installed it manually or you are using hardened or selinux profile. In any case it is very dangerous to change this (selinux/hardened to desktop for example) on the fly even for experienced user.
in-re: I didn't have an selinux profile or enhanced audit control on this machine. It was my desktop system and I was using selinux-openvpn for the vpn connection to my office. Thus the only things installed previously [relative to depend/require]: (libsemanage)->(libselinux)->(selinux-openvpn)->(openvpn) These were not brought in by USE flags but by direct install of selinux-openvpn. I checked the depend tree before even installing the option and only as an experement. emerge --info follows: skyleach skyleach # emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.9 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2,

OFF TOPIC: (btw) for the record I am an experienced user. I've been patching/submitting ebuilds for more than 5 years. I'm not just active enough to be a developer or regular contributor because I have 5 kids to take care of. When things affect my work or the little time I get to work on gentoo at home, then I submit bugs. I'm currently working on an ebuild for SNMP4Nagios and updating the out-of-date nagios-grapher ebuild. So find out causes before we starting slinging insults please. I'll remove this post before the end of the day :)
Note: merge of libselinux & libsemanage allowed me to build/install gnome-power-manager
I'd bet that NM doesn't want libselinux, but something NM depends on needs it. Try looking through /usr/lib/pkgconfig to see what depends on libselinux. You could also try using "revdep-rebuild --library". Either way, I really doubt it's a NetworkManager issue. :) Let us know what you find, it's interesting nonetheless.
re Remi: I'm not so certain it isn't. The linking call is specifically asking for selinux (-lselinux) instead of a missing shared object as you would expect from a link to a library requiring selinux outside of the gnome build. If it's linking an outside library, then it would be the build of that library or it's associated package that would be throwing the linker error and should have shown up in the dependency tree outside of the g-p-m build. Since the linker error is being thrown in this build directly, make must be getting a -l flag from the makefile or a subsidiary components makefile within the g-p-m tarball. At least, that's my logic behind it. The only proof is in the Makefile and I don't have time to go into it today or even this week. :-/
That's why I suggested looking through pkgconfig which is used extensively by Gnome packages. It could also be due to libtool's .la files. If an innocent looking selinux reference got put in either type of files, it can spread like wildfire. (ask Jakub about xcb or directfb/gtk) Anyway, it's mostly going to be up to you to investigate, since a quick look at gpm's configure doesn't indicate any libselinux dependency. I'll leave this bug open for now. Feel free to add to it whenever you like. Thanks :)
Just for the sake of it, could you try to run revdep-rebuild after unmerging selinux stuff ? (sorry if you already mentioned it, I'm just too lazy to reread all comments :)) if it doesn't work I see two possible tests here: - find all .la files you have on your system and remove them (backup them first with their original location just in case but they shouldn't be needed). Removed selinux stuff and see if g-p-m complains. - I see you have binutils-2.17. Could you do a little test with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" in your make.conf ? This implies that you have to emerge -e world and then unmerge libselinux and see if g-p-m still complains. final question: the mythtv dev would like to know why you need g-p-m at all on a mythtv box ?
Same thing happened to me today on a brand new amd64 box being built with bin packages built on an existing box (they have identical make.conf and /etc/portage/*, etc). There is nothing in pkgconfig/* on the new box, however, the first box does have libselinux (installed manually for testing an ebuild I made for setroubleshoot). Nothing in USE or anywhere else, just like the original reporter, only it was evolution-data-server bombing looking for -lselinux. Checking with revdep-rebuild reveals tons of links to selinux in other Gnome-related things (especially gnome-vfs). Weird... I also don't have any more time this morning due to work commitments, but I'll be back on it tonight (the new box is for my two boys who are not so patient).
Did revdep tell you if the .so files or the .la files were broken?
For the record, selinux is heavily invasive; it tends to get it's tendrils into everything. You will need at least one full revdep-rebuild to get rid of it. The one time I tried, I had to re-install.
please get back to us
