salt's ebuild provider for the pkg state requires portage's python module. The ebuild basically lacks a dependency on sys-apps/portage[${PYTHON_USEDEP}] for this (probably essential) state module to work on a system with selective Python 2.7 support. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sys-apps/portage[-python_targets_python2_7] 2. emerge app-admin/salt 3. try to use salt's state.pkg module Actual Results: [ERROR ] State 'pkg.installed' was not found in SLS 'base' Reason: 'pkg' __virtual__ returned False Portage 2.2.28 (python 3.4.3-final-0, default/server, gcc-4.9.3, glibc-2.22-r4, 4.4.6-gentoo-jmb x86_64)
