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. -- PGP/GPG key: http://web.lemuria.org/pubkey.html pub 1024D/2D7A04F5 2002-05-16 Tom Vogt Key fingerprint = C731 64D1 4BCF 4C20 48A4 29B2 BF01 9FA1 2D7A 04F5 -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
