Description Göran Uddeborg 2008-06-10 20:36:45 UTC

Description of problem:
The postinstall script contains this code:

[ -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/include/build.conf ] && /usr/bin/sepolgen-ifgen  >
/dev/null 
/usr/bin/sepolgen-ifgen  > /dev/null

Surely, that must be broken?  First the presence of a file from
selinux-policy-devel is checked.  If it is there, sepolgen-ifgen is run.  Then
on the next line, sepolgen-ifgen is run all the same!  (Again, if the build.conf
file was there.)

The meaning of the program seems to be to generate a file
/var/lib/sepolgen/interface_info.  On my systems, which does not have
selinux-policy-devel installed, it is empty.  I haven't yet figured out if it is
a problem to have an empty such file, but I thought I'd bug report the
apparently confused script anyway.
