[DSE-Dev] Bug#732845: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: Maintainer scripts not run in correct selinux context

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.52
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure

Hi,

Since 1.17.0, dpkg is trying to run the maintainer scripts in a
different context based on the file context and fallback on
"dpkg_script_t".

OTHO, a maintainer script run by dpkg-reconfigure is never transitioned
out of the "dpkg_t" context.

The maintainer scripts run by dpkg-reconfigure should also transition to
the appropriate context.

Unfortunately there is no perl binding for selinux, I guess that the
tools from selinux-utils could be used instead.

Cheers

Laurent Bigonville
