Dependency proken: ltsp-update-kernels needs restorecon from policycoreutils

[Johan Schiff]

The ltsp-update-kernels returns status 1 if /sbin/restorecon (package policycoreutils) doesn't exist. This causes ltsp-build-client to fail.

Either ltsp-server should require policycoreutils, or ltsp-update-kernels should be fixed.

That line was added in 2008-02-26 by a Fedora developer:

(selinux isn't used by default in Ubuntu)

I've no idea about selinux, would it be OK to just check for restorecon existence before running it?

if [ -f /selinux/enforce ] && [ -x /sbin/restorecon ]; then
    restorecon -R "$tftpdir" > /dev/null
fi

Yes, that fixes it on my setup.
