[Bug 1892455] Re: [MIR] libselinux1

[Seth Arnold]

libselinux1 has been in main for many years:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libs/libselinux/

Balint recently did some +1 work that mentioned libselinux:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2020-July/041095.html but
I don't read that as suggesting that libselinux1 has been moved out of
main.

The archives also don't show libselinux1 in universe:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libs/libselinux/

Can you double-check my reasoning here?

Thanks

Title:
  [MIR] libselinux1

Status in libselinux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Many applications have Flatpak integration using libflatpak. The
  Ubuntu desktop team would like libflatpak in main so we can easily
  build such applications (LP: #1812456). libselinux is a dependency of
  this, so it would also need to be in main. We don't need SELinux
  functionality, and do not expect any other SELinux packages to be
  installed by default.

  Availability
  ============
  In Universe, builds for all architectures and in sync with Debian.

  Rationale
  =========
  Required for libostree-1-1 being in main (LP: #1892454)

  Security
  ========
  This will need a Security review.

  Quality Assurance
  =================
  Should be subscribed to by Ubuntu Desktop Bugs.

  Contains a single .so and doesn't have any debconf prompts. Package is
  maintained in Debian. No major bugs in Debian or Ubuntu.

  UI Standards
  ============
  N/A

  Dependencies
  ============
  All in main.

  Standards Compliance
  ====================
  Package uses standards version 4.5.0.

  Maintenance
  ===========
  Actively developed upstream https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux.
  Packages actively maintained in Debian.

  Security Checks
  ===============
  41 CVEs found in http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=selinux, but they seem to relate to actual SELinux functionality, not issues in libselinux.
