</snip>
The reason is apparently that the package insists on having grub/grub-
ieee1275 installed (whereas the boot loader on the PPC is usually
yaboot). Trying to install grub or grub-ieee1275 always fails.
I /could/ actually install the selinux package by running 'dpkg -i
--force-all selinux_0.2_all.deb'. SELinux then comes up as expected
when I simply add "selinux=1" to the 'append' statement in yaboot.conf
and run mkofboot afterwards. However, now aptitude & friends
permanently nag about broken dependencies.
The simple solution on the PPC would IMHO be changing the dependency
from grub to yaboot.
