[DSE-Dev] Bug#885771: selinux-policy-dev package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Evgeni Golov]

Package: selinux-policy-dev
Version: 2:2.20171228-1
Severity: serious

Ohai,

upgrade to latest s-p-dev fails:
Setting up selinux-policy-dev (2:2.20171228-1) ...
Running sepolgen-ifgen...dpkg: error processing package selinux-policy-dev (--configure):
 installed selinux-policy-dev package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 selinux-policy-dev

Looking closer, it seems polgen-ifgen fails:
% sudo sepolgen-ifgen
/usr/share/selinux/devel/include/support/obj_perm_sets.spt: Syntax error on line 157 ` [type=TICK]
error parsing headers
