[Bug 188136] [NEW] package openssh-4.7p1 configure.ac improperly fails to recognize getseuserbyname and get_default_context_with_level

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

The configure.am script doesn't add -lselinux to LIBS before it checks
for the existence of getseuserbyname and get_default_context_with_level
using AC_CHECK_FUNCS. This results in the functions not being found even
if they do exist and the seusers configuration not being handled
correctly. Most policies use the seusers feature and without it proper
support for SELinux won't be possible in Hardy (specifically, login
security contexts will not be correct). I've attached a debdiff below
(an updated package is also in my PPA:
