This error comes from libselinux.

Comment 2 Gary Yuen 2007-09-14 14:36:59 UTC

I've noticed the error only occurs when I use the kernel parameter selinux=0. Maybe the removal of the 
selinux packages makes no difference.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2008-09-09 20:31:24 UTC

Old lost bugs. Libselinux can not tell if it's disabled or not until this library is loaded.
