Package: libselinux
Version: 2.0.35-1
Severity: serious
Usertags: implicit-pointer-conversion

Our automated buildd log filter[1] detected a problem that is likely to
cause your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a
pointer is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64.

  Function `selinux_default_type_path' implicitly converted to pointer at 
selinuxswig_wrap.c:7457
  Function `selinux_default_type_path' implicitly converted to pointer at 
selinuxswig_wrap.c:7457

This is often due to a missing function prototype definition.
For more information, see [2].

Inasmuch as the ia64 porters are now treating all such pointer conversions
as build failures, this is actually a "serious" bug because the package now
"fails to build" on an architecture where it built before.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about swig, so am unable to provide a
patch for this issue.
