libsepol (2.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium


  * Drop debian/libsepol1.postinst: Reloading systemd during an upgrade in an
    uncontroled way might endup with unwanted side effects (Closes: #753727)

** Changed in: libsepol (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

** Changed in: libsepol (Ubuntu Utopic)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #753727
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753727

** Also affects: libsepol (Debian) via
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753727
   Importance: Unknown
       Status: Unknown

** Description changed:

  Trusty's libsepol1 (2.2-1) has no Upstart version check for the 'telinit
  u' call. During the dist-upgrade from Precise to Trusty this causes
  Upstart to loose its state. Because of this Upstart no longer knows
  which PIDs running services have and thus all service reloads fail.
  
  This bug is similarly to bug http://pad.lv/1313712 and the same fix
  applies.
  
  Faulty code:
  if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
   # Restart init. If it fails, there is nothing we can do, so
   # just ignore the error (NOTE: Borrowed from libc6.postinst)
   telinit u 2>/dev/null || true ; sleep 1
  fi
  
  Correct code:
  if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
   # Restart init. If it fails, there is nothing we can do, so
   # just ignore the error (NOTE: Borrowed from libc6.postinst)
   if dpkg --compare-versions "$UPSTART_VERSION_RUNNING" ge 1.6.1; then
    telinit u 2>/dev/null || true ; sleep 1
   fi
  fi
+ 
+ 
+ accepted fix in debian packaging is to drop the postinst all together, since none of the libsepol symbols are used by neither upstart or systemd.
