Re: [gentoo-user] libselinux.so.1 dependency problems
Andreas, Thanks very much for the information. Yes! I do seem to have *.la files with -lselinux in them. It looks like I'm going to have to do some purging and re-emerging to fix things. Thanks again. --- Vladimir on 07/07/2008 04:49 PM Andreas Niederl said the following: Hi, Vladimir G.

[gentoo-user] libselinux.so.1 dependency problems
Since the package sys-libs/libselinux is masked --- at least on AMD64
it is --- I ran
emerge --depclean --verbose sys-libs/libselinux
and the only reverse dependency it reported was python-selinux. So I
removed both packages and severely broke my system.
It turns out that many, many executables require libselinux.so.1,
despite what the documentation of --depclean in man emerge says
(or what I think it says -- is this a bug or operator error?)
I cobbled together a system that limps along thanks to the 2008.0 beta
LiveCD (which does not depend on libselinux.so.1), but I am unable
to emerge a large number of packages that seem to silently depend on
libselinux.so.1: the ebuilds fail when ld cannot find -lselinux.
I do not have USE=selinux anywhere, and I never have. There is no
selinux in the output of emerge --info, and none of the build
environment files I've checked contain selinux. libselinux.so.1 is
not in directory in /etc/ld.so.conf. Adding USE=-selinux on the
command line or in /etc/make.conf does not make any difference.
revdep-rebuild lists 37 packages, in particular many GNOME packages,
that depend on libselinux.so.1, but I don't seem to be able to
re-emerge any of them.
I ran
for pkg in $(equery depends libselinux | cut -d' ' -f1); do
eix -e $(qatom ${pkg} | cut -d' ' -f2)
done
and every package shown that depends on libselinux has actually been
installed with -selinux. (BTW, revdep-rebuild and equery depends
don't agree on which packages depend on libselinux.so.1.)
What gives? Where does the -lselinux come from? How can I get rid of
this maddening dependency?
Thanks for any help.
BTW, as a temporary measure, I've created an empty libselinux.so.1
that seems to satisfy ld.
