Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2008-05-21

Details

An updated checkpolicy package that fixes a bug with an incorrect man page
option is now available.

The checkpolicy package contains checkpolicy, the policy compiler for
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux). The checkpolicy utility is required for
building SELinux policies.

This update fixes a bug where the manpage for the checkmodule utility
described a -d (debug) option that was not actually implemented. The
checkmodule man page has been updated to reflect the fact that this option
has not been implemented.

All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
this issue.
