Description Bill Nottingham 2004-04-20 19:50:01 UTC 
install.log sez:

Installing policy-1.11.2-12.noarch
cat: /selinux/policyvers: No such file or directory
Can't open '/etc/security/selinux/plicy.': no such file or directory
Comment 1 Colin Walters 2004-04-20 20:59:57 UTC 
Hmm.  You don't have /selinuxfs mounted?
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2004-04-20 21:25:44 UTC 
In the installer? Don't think so.
Comment 3 Colin Walters 2004-04-20 21:31:14 UTC 
I just chatted with Jeremy, he agreed to mount /selinuxfs during
installation.

However this issue is due to the policy backwards compatibility code,
which we want to get rid of.  I'm going to investigate doing that too.
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2004-04-20 23:55:21 UTC 
Added hack in anaconda to mount selinux.  Back to policy package for a
real eventual fix
Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2004-04-22 21:10:25 UTC 
Until a new way of handling backwards compatability this is required
so that if we upgrade the kernel version we can handle old and new
kernels.  We should fix the code to not fail if the kernel does not
support selinux though.

Checking to see if /selinux/policvers exists in policy.spec
fixed in policy-1.11.2-18
