Public bug reported:

I tried to install selinux with sudo apt-get install selinux.

Upon reboot one of the error messages was that the file system was not writable
and could not make the directory /root/selinux.  There was another complaint 
that may be related to gnome on the system, but that may not be relevant.  I 
could not switch screens and log in to fix
anything.  When I tried and the password was accepted the screen would blank 
and give another
login prompt.  

I booted the system on an installation CD and remounted the directories on 
/mnt.  Then I chroot
to /mnt and then did sudo apt-get remove selinux.

I had to do the recover routine and dpkg and then clean to get the
system back to being stable.

I can't confirm which version of selinux it was (probably in the logs).
