After the Trixie update (and any other such update to libpcre) the above warnings appear when doing SE Linux relabel operations (which includes running dpkg to install packages). rm -f /etc/selinux/*/contexts/files/file_contexts*.bin The solution is to run a command like the above in the postinst when an upgrade that uses a new version of the on-disk format happens. The SE Linux programs all work correctly without such cache files and the cache files will be regenerated the next time the context list is changed. There is no downside to running that command other than losing the benefit of caching. No matter the SE Linux configuration or in the case of SE Linux not being installed it will not harm functionality. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.32-amd64 (SMP w/44 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages libpcre2-8-0 depends on: ii libc6 2.41-12 libpcre2-8-0 recommends no packages. libpcre2-8-0 suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed
