Package: mcstrans Version: 2.6-2 Severity: critical Tags: upstream Justification: breaks unrelated software
While mcstrans has no problems for what it does, it triggers bad interactions between systemd, dbus, and SE Linux. I don't think it is possible to properly solve these issues before the sid is frozen. Therefore I think that mcstrans should be removed from testing and not offered for installation in the next stable release. At this time this is the most serious problem we have with SE Linux in Debian. As an aside by default Fedora doesn't run mcstrans. I don't know whether it's for the same reason, but in any case Fedora users are surviving well enough without it. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mcstrans depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.46 ii libc6 2.24-8 ii libcap2 1:2.25-1 ii libpcre3 2:8.39-2 ii libselinux1 2.6-3 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii selinux-utils 2.6-3 mcstrans recommends no packages. mcstrans suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
