Trying to install irssi under a SELinux aware host, I received the following error: --- The following mask changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details) #required by net-irc/irssi-0.8.15-r1::lerya-net, required by irssi (argument) # /usr/portage/profiles/base/package.mask: # Diego E. Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (25 Apr 2010) # on behalf of QA team <qa@gentoo.org # # Mask SElinux packages on all the profile and unmask it only for # selinux itself; automagic dependencies can break systems otherwise # # Please keep this mask in sync between profiles/package.mask and # selinux/package.mask (with - prefix there). =sec-policy/selinux-irc-2.20120725-r11 --- After some digging, I think that '-sec-policy/selinux-irc' is missing in profiles/features/selinux/package.mask Is that policy somehow deprecated (In that case a better mask should be added) or is it just a missing line ?
You're right, corrected in CVS.
