Hi all,

I'm trying to follow the trail for installing SELinux on Debian unstable, as helpfully documented by Dave Gilbert (see below). Thanks, Dave!

However, I'm having difficulty with the Selinux-policy-default package, which Dselect complains is not compatible with Policycoreutils. I plan to start over with a very minimal Debian installation on the hypothesis that one or more of the SELinux package versions has been obsoleted by a non-SELinux package. Can anyone offer other suggestions for installing SELinux under Debian, whether stable or unstable?

Cheers,
