Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of refpolicy the autopkgtest of selint fails in 
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of 
refpolicy from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from 
testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
refpolicy              from testing    2:2.20221101-1
selint                 from testing    1.2.1-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of refpolicy to 
testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report 
against both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and 
reassign the bug to the right package?
