selinux

[Francesco Pietra <frapietra@alice.it>]

As far as I can understand, the problem arises post installation of
selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted (or strict):

E (for targeted): could not run semodule-deps 
at /var/lib/dpkg/info/selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted-postinst line 127
_________
Neither 
#apt-get --reinstall install <packagename>
nor
#apt-get --purge remove <both packagenames>
then
apt-get install <packagename>
helped. Alayaw bot packages (selinux-policy-refpolicy-strict and targeted)( 
are reported as broken or not fully installed. Clearly, I am unable to set 
dependencies.
___________
After having broken packages by misuse of 
#aptitude (never use both aptitude and apt-get, which I forgot)
I am unable to get 
selinux-policy-refpolicy-strict
and
selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted
working. Neither
#apt-get -f install
nor
#dpkg-reconfigure selinux-policy-refpolicy-strict (or the other package)
restored a correct situation. 

# apt-get -f install
