Comment 3 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2018-10-07 14:28:18 UTC 
/etc/environment is installed by sys-libs/pam. It may also be created manually. If it doesn't exist, the dangling symlink is expected.

@dev-portage: How can I silence this QA warning?
Comment 4 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2018-10-07 20:14:07 UTC 
We don't have a whitelist variable for broken symbolic links yet, the check is just this 2 lines of code here:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/commit/?id=ca7467006b112f65a57c4db7816729841a2de694

How does QA_BROKEN_SYMLINKS sound for the new variable name?
Comment 5 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2020-02-23 17:36:23 UTC 
This isn't worth "fixing" to me. If QA_BROKEN_SYMLINKs is supported in Portage someday, I would be happy to utilize it.
