Hi,

i'm trying to upgrade my checkpolicy package to v1.30.12 from v1.30-r1 and I am seeing the following error (which to me looks like a bug!):

I've never had a /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts file or directory structure like that on my system :-(

[Comment 2 Richard Scott 2006-12-24 08:54:22 UTC]

ok, I've just rebooted with selinux=0 appended to the kernel and tried again and it now works.....what gives? can't you install that under an selinux environment?

odd, but at least I can now install it ;-)
