I thought that I/ was/ root. See where I entered su and then the
password? Does it have anything to do with me using SELinux (I hope
that doesn't sound silly)? Entering su under SELinux should be the
same. ~Telly

Not sure, but you want to sort out the 3 packages that are showing as not
fully installed or removed. Run dpkg -C as root to see which these packages
are.

I've had this problem recently with hal. The update process hadn't stopped the
hal daemon before applying the update, then complained that it couldn't start
hald because it was already running. If hal or openbsd-inetd are listed, stop
the daemons with.
/etc/init.d/hal stop
and
/etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd stop

Same goes for your 3rd problem package, but I've only had these two.

Next. Either run as root, apt-get dist-upgrade again, or alternatively.
dpkg --configure hal
then
dpkg --configure openbsd-inetd

Both should complete, and restart the daemons.

Nigel.

These won't go through until slib is setup.

I don't see this mentioned in the bug reports.
Are you running stable, testing, or unstable?
What happens if you run an `apt-get -f install`?

Also--I think your openoffice issue is a separate one. What is it
doing? Do you get a splashscreen, then it quits? Does it appear to do
nothing? if you run it from a terminal emulator, do you see any errors?

I think that depends on how restrictive your SELinux setup is. Can you
turn SELinux off and try to install slib again?

I'm running SELinux(Debian, Stable). I've never had this problem with
other installations. The only thing different now is that I have
SELinux and Shorewall installed.

Whoa. I did 'echo 0 >/selinux/enforce' and now everything works,
including Open Office. Thanks Florian.

I just began using SELinux and trying to understand how everything
works. Why wouldn't it let me install slib while I was root? Is it
that there's no such thing as a Super User in SELinux? ~Telly

Turning off SELinux doesn't tell you *why* SELinux complained.

Monitoring syslog with SELinux active while trying to install the
package will (try to) tell you what kind of policy you need.

Red Hat is writing some sort of policy assistant that should in
situations like this.

As far as I understand it, the point of SELinux is to be able to put
finer-grained restrictions on everybody, including root. For example,
you might want to forbid root to do certain things if he/she is not
sitting in front of the keyboard. That way you can limit the damage that
a remote attacker can do even if he/she manages to gain root. This gives
you more security, but it also means that you can lock yourself out if
you are not careful with your policies. Completely disabling SELinux is
just a quick-and-dirty check to see if it is indeed the cause of your
installation problems. The next step, as Ron has already pointed out, is
to check the logs to find out which policy you have to relax, and to
figure out how to relax it just enough to let the next slib upgrade
happen without problems.

The same goes for OpenOffice. It will probably still take a while until
the default policies are optimized for all applications. One should
probably also keep in mind that the primary purpose of SELinux is to
improve the security of servers, therefore it will naturally be more of
a hassle to make applications work which are normally not run on a
server.

Did you turn on audit=1 on your grub/lilo command line? If you,
you should have "avc denied" lines in /var/log/messages. Grep those
lines out of /var/log/messgaes, put them into a file, and file a
wishlist bug on the selinux policy you are using, with a short note on
what you were trying to do, and the output of id -Z as root.

This will getting the issue fixed.

thanks,

manoj
