Hi All,

I am following the selinux-guide Sven updated recently on a VM with a
clean install.
I started with the hardened stage 3 as recommended and am using the latest
stable hardened sources.

At step 4.2.2 (Install policies and utilities) the emerge fails with the
error:

/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `id.mo': No such file or directory

for the policycoreutils.
The failure occurs during the install step.

On Google, I found this error in a debian bugreport [1]. Has anyone run
into this yet and is there a solution to this with Gentoo?

Many thanks,

Joost

Yes, this should be fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.82-r1 (and higher) but it
is still in ~arch. I'll see to it that it gets stabilized.

Wkr,

Thanks. I'll continue my testing with "policycoreutils-2.0.82-r1".
