Hi all,

when I switched to Chimaera, one of the difficulties was an /etc/selinux 
directory left over since several years ago.  After boot with the new system, X 
didn't want to start.  It said something about selinux, so I found the leftover 
and startx worked again.

Now I checked what selinux packages are installed, and find libselinux1.  If i 
try to remove it, I get errors like:

:~# apt-get purge libselinux1

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by 
held packages.


Running `apt-cache rdepends libselinux1` reports lots of essential packages.  
Is that correct?

Perhaps all what they need is to call is_selinux_enabled() from 
libselinux.so.1.  Does it make sense?

Did we have it on Beowulf?
