the /etc/selinux problem

[Tom <tom@lemuria.org>]

Someone here had an install problem - sorry, I don't remember your
name.

I stepped back through my install and found your solution:


There is a hen-egg problem in /etc/dpkg/postinst.d/selinux when you
upgrade (don't know about fresh installs). Here's what I did to get it
solved:

dpkg --purge selinux-policy-default
manually rm -r /etc/selinux and rm -r /usr/share/selinux/policy
now vi /etc/dpkg/postinst.d/selinux and put an exit 0 right at the
start.
now dpkg -i selinux-policy-default_1.2.real-13_all.deb

should now work. Remove the exit 0 from the script. You may have to
issue a make relabel, but that's a good idea anyways.
