After system update when testing fix for other bugs I had to remove some rules and I noticed that semanage doesn't work in enforcing mode. outputs: /usr/sbin/semanage: 'eselect python show' printed unrecognized value '' however when running manually I get this #> eselect python show python2.7 running semanage with enforcing Jan 30 23:01:07 localhost kernel: [ 2561.342555] type=1400

Confirmed; change is because /etc/env.d is now marked as etc_runtime_t (its content is changeable by eselect so I found it better to mark it as such).
Will be corrected in r13
In hardened-dev overlay
In main tree, ~arch'ed
Stabilized
