Whenever I emerge packages through a terminal emulator such as Konsole or Yakuake the emerge fails right after checking the SHA1 sum on the tarball of the package. However if I switch to a virtual console (pressing ctrl + alt + F5) I can emerge the exact same package and it will build and install just fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open a terminal emulator such as Konsole or Yakuake 2.run ~$ emerge <packagename> 3. It is important to note that this only started happening after I switched my system profile from default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde to hardened/linux/amd64/selinux Actual Results: alex@Hitomi ~ $ sudo emerge wget Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-misc/wget-1.12-r3 * wget-1.12.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

It doesn't matter what package I emerge, I always get the same error. It doesn't matter if I use sudo or su -c or just su right into root, as long as I'm running through Konsole or Yakuake I will get this error. I have SELinux set to passive. I can switch to a virtual console and emerge my packages just fine, so this isn't a serious, major issue. More of a pain in the butt.
It means that the context in which you were sitting when you launched portage wasn't sysadm_t. Portage itself checks for a proper context but if it isn't in portage_t (which can only be transitioned to from sysadm_t) it b0rks like that. You can temporarily disable that with FEATURES="-selinux", but be aware that that means SELinux support in Portage is disabled (including labeling the files it installs). Better is to focus on why the context of your root account isn't "sysadm_t". I'll see to it that this error is documented in the troubleshooting section of the handbook or in the FAQ.
