selinux-base-policy merge failure
Hello again,

I'm hitting symptoms as described in the "Policy Store is Corrupt" section
of the troubleshooting page (
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/selinux/selinux-handbook.xml?part=2&chap=6
)

msi erik # semodule -n -B
libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Could not access sandbox base file
/etc/selinux/strict/modules/tmp/base.pp. (No such file or directory).
semodule: Failed!

As directed, I re-emerge my sec-policy packages:
...
FEATURES="-selinux" emerge -1av $(qlist -IC sec-policy)
...

however selinux-base-policy fails. It gets through the sandbox install but
fails at the merge with:

Error opening /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts.local: No
such file or directory
libsemanage.sefcontext_compile: sefcontext_compile returned error code 255.
Compiling /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts.local
libsemanage.semanage_install_active: Could not copy
/etc/selinux/strict/modules/active/file_contexts.homedirs to
/etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs. (No such file or
directory)
semodule: failed!

Any ideas? I'm sure this package merged successfully a couple days ago.

My 'emerge --info' is below. The build log isn't preserved (a cruel
portage lie).

Thanks in advance,
Erik

Which directories do exist (these are all "no such file or directory" so it
would be good to know if they exist and if not, if their parent directories
exist, etc.)

Most of the directories are build by the selinux-base package.
