----end of error text -----

Without knowing the reason why this line of the .src.rpm specfile is
at fault, it appears to be the culprit:

Requires: libselinux = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}

So I changed it to a simpler (maybe older) version as follows:

Requires: libselinux = %{version}

----

Patch attached for the .spec file in the .src.rpm. 

All comments appreciated. I'd be curious to know the intent of the
'epoch' part of the original specfile. I've not been able to figure it
out yet nor whether what I did changed the intent, but it installs
without trouble after the change.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2004-12-29 17:13:10 UTC
Fixed in libselinux-1.19.4-1

Comment 2 Mickey Stein 2004-12-29 17:16:48 UTC
Created attachment 109165 [details]
Updates the .spec file of the source rpm (libselinux-1.19.3-3.src.rpm)

If its determined this patch is ok, then after patching the following command
will rebuild the .rpm's:

$rpmbuild --bb *.spec (with the patch & *.gz files moved appropriately)

Comment 3 Mickey Stein 2004-12-29 17:18:01 UTC
Ok Dan, had a feeling this would be fixed before I could bug it ;)
