[DSE-Dev] Bug#677863: policycoreutils: postinst requires selinux-policy-default

[Daniel Dehennin]

Package: policycoreutils
Version: 2.1.10-8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The policycoreutils recommends selinux-policy-default but the postinst
requires it.

On my systems, I set:

  cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02recommands 
  APT::Install-Recommends "false";
  APT::Install-Suggests "false";

Here is my dist-upgrade failure:

  LANG=C apt-get dist-upgrade
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  Calculating upgrade... Done
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
  1 not fully installed or removed.
  After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
  Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 
  Setting up policycoreutils (2.1.10-8) ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/policycoreutils.postinst: line 58: /etc/selinux/default/setrans.conf: No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing policycoreutils (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   policycoreutils
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Looking at the setrans.conf file, it's owned by selinux-policy-default:

  apt-file search /etc/selinux/default/setrans.conf
  selinux-policy-default: /etc/selinux/default/setrans.conf

Regards.
