+Unable to Emerge Anything (OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument)<= /title> +<subsection> +<title>Problem Description + + +

+When trying to install software with Portage, you get a huge python stac= ktrace +and finally the error message OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: +

+
+ + + + +Wrong Context + + +

+The above error comes when you launch portage (through emerge) wh= ile you +are not in sysadm_t context. You can verify this with id -Z: +

+ +
+~# id -Z
+system_u:system_r:local_login_t
+
+ +

+As long as the context isn't sysadm_t, then Portage will break. T= his is +because Portage wants to switch its execution context from portage_t<= /c> to +portage_sandbox_t but fails (it isn't in portage_t to begi= n with +because the user who launched Portage isn't in sysadm_t). +

+ +

+Please check Unable to Log On above first= . Also +make sure that you can dispatch-conf or etc-update after +installing SELinux so that /etc/pam.d/system-login is updat= ed with +the right pam_selinux.so calls. +
