I tried to run python-updater, but it fails because policycoreutils can't be re-emerged. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do selinux installation (1 year a go) 2. Do emerge --sync; emerge -uDN world 3. Do python-updater Actual Results: Something like this: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/policycoreutils" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-apps/policycoreutils-2.0.69 (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/package.mask: # Shouldn't be merging these SELinux packages on this profile # but this keeps repoman happy since they require >=glibc-2.4 # 20061009 pebenito - sys-apps/policycoreutils-2.0.55 (masked by: package.mask) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. Expected Results: re-emerge of python packages Portage 2.2_rc33 (selinux/2007.0/amd64, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.29-gentoo-r3 x86_64)

looks like entire file, default/linux/package.mask, which contains only selinux masks is invalid..., should prolly be only masked in base/ and then unmasked in selinux profile
sigh.. and it's everywhere.. profiles $ grep -r selinux * |grep package.mask and look at the results :( 1 package.mask in base/ and 1 package.mask that unmasks these in profiles/selinux should solve the issue
fixed....
