Description Scott Baker 2013-07-05 16:27:56 UTC

Description of problem:
I don't use selinux, I find it complicated problematic. In previous versions of Fedora, up to Fedora 18, I was able to yum remove selinux* and it would remove all selinux components. In Fedora 19, when I try that command it fails as it pulls in systemd as a dependency.

Before the answer is "just disable selinux, don't try and remove it" I'll tell you why I remove it, instead of disabling it. The "yum updates" for selinux components are large, and take a long time to install (updating all the file contexts?). Basically any selinux update really slows down my yum updates. Since I don't use it at all, I'd really like to be able to remove it completely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-57.fc19.noarch
selinux-policy-3.12.1-57.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
Easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F19
2. Try and yum remove selinux*

Actual results:
Fails due a systemd dependancy

Expected results:
It removes selinux

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2013-07-09 15:17:35 UTC

You should be able to remove

selinux-policy-targeted

libsemanage grew a dependency on selinux-policy, which I will remove. and reverse it.  selinux-policy should rely on libsemanage.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2013-07-09 15:19:35 UTC

fixed in libsemanage-2.1.10-6.fc19

Comment 3 Scott Baker 2013-07-09 16:43:02 UTC

You were right, I can remove selinux-policy-targeted, but not selinux-policy. We're halfway there.

Where can I get libsemanage-2.1.10-6.fc19 to test with?
