Bug Description

Binary package hint: selinux

On ubuntu the refpolicy is based on the outdated concept of a difference between targeted and strict. This approach isn't used anymore.

Todays selinux refpolicy is just having a targeted style. If you want to have a strict style you just have to remove the unconfined module.

Please check the Reference Policy project page: http://oss.tresys.com/projects/refpolicy/

Okay this seems not the case what I wrote above. The problem seems that the description in the /etc/selinux/config file is wrong.

It suggests using refpolicy-strict or -targeted to use. But if doing so you can't boot into the system anymore just the busybox because selinux halts the booting when not finding a correct policy.

Changed in selinux (Ubuntu):
