Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I'm using armhf Debian on a phone, NOT in a chroot, by using basically an adapted Debian Kit to get Jessie instead of somethiing old. Almost everything I install gives the error message "security labeling handle: no such file or directory". I found on the web a workaround of sorts by remounting /sys/fs/selinux readonly during the installation, but this causes Android to panic and lock up after about 1 minute. Normally this works in a terminal emulator or over a VNC or SSH connection concurently with Android apps. Old versions of Debian from a year ago didn't have this problem, and it may be compunded by the fact that Android shipped with selinux in permissive mode until 5.0. Going to permissive mode has little affect on the problem. It seems to come from src/selinux.c which is where the error message can be found. It seems like at least if you set selinux to permissive this should only be a warning, not stop the install. Or maybe it could be a new --force option to dpkg. I don't want to run selinux at all but Android uses it. [email protected] This has been discussed on the debian-arm list first. -- System Information: Debian Release: Jessie (8.2) APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') 500 ???
