[DSE-Dev] Bug#757444: selinux-policy-default: restorecond gets a permission denied

[Jeroen Pulles]

Package: selinux-policy-default
Version: 2:2.20140421-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

In enforced mode, restorecond does not work:

# restorecond --help
restorecond: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied

How ironic. 

I followed the guidelines from the Debian wiki for SELinux. 

(I have the impression restorecon is not doing what it is supposed to do
either; I'm seeing files with the wrong labels for postfix and redis-server. A
`fixfiles onreboot` and reboot later and some labels are fixed, but the
restorecond error pertains. I'm also seeing errors with postfix caused by a
mismatch in postdrop/pickup role/type blah, where from the policy source it
seems fair to complain. This is my first stab at selinux on debian. I'm
abandoning that idea right away.)

kind regards,
Jeroen
