I'm very tempted to say "you asked for it, you got it" - you seem to have
tried to arrange for SELinux to be both enabled and disabled.
SELinux maintainers: please try to work out what should happen here, and
what needs to change to make that happen? If the answer is that changes in
dbus are needed, I'm happy to apply properly justified patches, but I need
to know what those changes are and why they are correct.
I am an upstream maintainer of dbus, so if a proposed change is justified
properly and someone who knows SELinux approves it, I can apply it
upstream; but conversely I am not going to be applying downstream
changes to dbus in Debian if they are not good enough for upstream.
Thanks,
S
