Description Kenton Groombridge gentoo-dev

2024-03-19 21:58:12 UTC

buildah's Makefile makes an unfortunate assumption about the loaded SELinux policy and tries to relabel the buildah binary with a type that doesn't exist in Gentoo's policy (container_runtime_exec_t vs. podman_exec_t).

It seems setting SELINUXOPT to an empty value successfully tricks the build system to skip its SELinux relabeling step, then Portage will take care of it like normal.
