security labeling handle: No such file or directory (what file?)
With my Debian Kit installation on a phone (Motorola Mote-e2, Android
5.02) I seem to be having selinux problems. I've read part of
Gentoo's selinux tutorial at
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SELinux/Tutorials and I'm trying to
figure this out.
Did:
setenforce permissive
root@gsm:/# getenforce
Permissive
root@gsm:/# apt-get -f install

dpkg: error processing archive

selinux
There was a posted suggestion that remounting /etc/selinux ro fixes this error
but it's not a mountpoint here. What if I chmod it not writeable?
chmod 600 selinux
root@gsm:/etc# ls -la | grep selinux
drw-------. 3 root root 4096 Dec 30 01:23 selinux
Doesn't work. Set it back to 755
Do I need to get the source of dpkg to find out what file it's not
finding or does somebody know what this error message is talking
about? Is it because the deb apparently doesn't have selinux
attributes set?
I did a little reading and Android 5 was the first version where
selinux wasn't permissive by default, wonder if that's why there are
so many problems. I'm a little confused about how having the Android
side using selinux affects the Debian side.
I can't install binutils and some other packages, some I can. Mostly
I just want Make, for now, and stuff to compile C programs.
