Source: libsepol
Version: 3.4-2
Severity: serious
Control: tags -1 patch

The d/copyright file points to a 404 URL as source. The Zlib license is missing.
Also, it does not present all copyright information that is contained in the source.
I have a fix for these Policy violations attached in the machine-readable format.
