Hi all

A workaround for fixing this problem (it worked for my Jaunty and selinux 1.0.4) is:

1.- Boot from liveCD, mount root partition in hard disk and delete /selinux and /etc/selinux (I got the idea from http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1063667.html)

2.- After that, I realized that the problem was still the same (the same output that in #2), so I suppose that the last action wasn't relevant. Be free to do it or don't...

3.- then I tried to create the file generating the error...

madcat@chispita:~$ sudo touch /etc/init.d/selinux

4.-...And change the permissions:

madcat@chispita:~$ sudo chmod 0777 /etc/init.d/selinux

5.- And then...

madcat@chispita:~$ sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq -r selinux

And that was all...

Hope this can help to someone, but in any case the bug is still on.

Best regards.
