Hello!

Having a real headache with this new API lark.
Got into all sorts of mess, so basically started from scratch.

Sorted a normal installation and the followed the quickstart guide word for word.
Worked like a charm up until just after Code listing 1.12.
pam, pwdb, coreutils etc emerge sucessfully. Now, in exactly the same manner as before, I am severely stuck!

getfilecon returned an error: /var/tmp/portage/logrotate-3.6.5-r1/image/usr/sbin/logrotate
!!! Failed to move /var/tmp/portage/logrotate-3.6.5-r1/image/usr/sbin/logrotate to /usr/sbin/logrotate
!!! expected string or Unicode object, NoneType found

I was also getting the same setfiles errors when trying to relabel before this rebuild.

Line 39 is
/.*				system_u:object_r:file_t
44
/				system_u:object_r:file_t
49
/var(/.*)?		system_u:object_r:var_t
etc

I'm wondering if this is due to a remnant of old labeling, the disk hasn't been formatted.

Cheers
