Description Maarten 2023-03-20 19:55:29 UTC
Translation item 133 of authselect/master: src/lib/util/selinux.c:46

Unable to create selabel context [%d]: %s

The above string seems to be mistaken. Therefore, it has been translated into Dutch as if the string reads as follows.

Unable to create selinux context [%d]: %s

Comment 1 Pavel Březina 2023-04-03 10:21:58 UTC
Thank you.

It is actually correct-ish as it refers to "selabel_open" function context and not the selinux context. But proper message would be "Unable to create selable handle". Would you like to open a pull request against authselect?

Comment 2 Maarten 2023-04-08 20:15:30 UTC
Thanks for your reply.

I am not interested in the source code of authselect. I believe you immediately when you say that the string is somewhere between right and wrong.

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/selabel_open.3.html was read for background information.

I have changed my Dutch translation, according to this CURRENT English string:

Unable to create selabel context [%d]: %s

My reason is that if someone gets confronted with the error then he or she will probably search the Internet for reports from others who had encountered the same error.

When you will have changed the English string into

Unable to create selabel handle [%d]: %s

then I will change my Dutch translation again.
