Recently sys-libs/libselinux has been masked (I am using profile x86/10.0/desktop), and I unmerged it. At the same time, media-video/vlc has been marked to update from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6. But emerging both vlc-1.0.5 and vlc-1.0.6 fails because it links against libselinux. This is the output when emerging vlc-1.0.6: libtool: link: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 -shared .libs/libaccess_gnomevfs_plugin_la-gnomevfs.o -Wl,--whole-archive ../../compat/.libs/libcompat.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/var/tmp/portage/media-video/vlc-1.0.6/work/vlc-1.0.6/src/.libs /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libxml2.so /usr/lib/libgnutls.so /usr/lib/libtasn1.so -lz /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so /usr/lib/libgpg-error.so /usr/lib/libavahi-glib.so /usr/lib/libavahi-client.so /usr/lib/libavahi-common.so -lresolv -lselinux -lutil /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so -lnsl /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so ../../src/.libs/libvlccore.so -L/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libsmbios-2.2.19/work/libsmbios-2.2.19/out /usr/lib/libhal.so /usr/lib/libsmbios.so /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so -lrt -lpthread -ldl -lm -pthread -march=core2 -Wl,-O3 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,--sort-common -pthread -pthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libaccess_gnomevfs_plugin.so -o .libs/libaccess_gnomevfs_plugin.so /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lselinux collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [libaccess_gnomevfs_plugin.la] Error 1 make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C libselinux (as it is hardmasked!!) 2. emerge vlc 3. Actual Results: vlc can not be compiled. Expected Results: vlc should compile without linking against libselinux. If I emerge libselinux (overriding the hardmask), vlc can be compiled correctly. Once vlc is compiled and installed, I remove libselinux vlc seems to work OK. I have found, though, that the following library need libselinux: $ ldd /usr/lib/vlc/access/libaccess_gnomevfs_plugin.so | grep selinux libselinux.so.1 => not found libselinux.so.1 => not found

Have you run revdep-rebuild to fix all broken dependencies? Please run revdep-rebuild(emerge gentoolkit) and also try to reemerge gnome-base/gnome-vfs and then to reemerge vlc. I resolve this bug as TEST-REQUEST. Please, reopen it only if you still experience problems. Thank you for your report.
Can not test, as reinstalled due to other very strong reasons. Thanks.
