How to install system-config-selinux?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to install system-config-selinux on Debian?

system-config-selinux is Fedora/RHEL-specific. On Debian, install policycoreutils-gui and run sepolicy gui.

Or install policycoreutils-python-utils and run semanage from the command line.

I failed to run it:

Code:

$ sudo apt install system-config-selinux policycoreutils-python-utils

$ sepolicy gui
org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.OSError: OSError: [Errno Failed to read SELinux configuration: %s] ('', 'Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File "/usr/sbin/semanage", line 28, in <module>\n    import seobject\n  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/seobject.py", line 1045, in <module>\n    class portRecords(semanageRecords):\n  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/seobject.py", line 1047, in portRecords\n    valid_types = list(list(sepolicy.info(sepolicy.ATTRIBUTE, "port_type"))[0]["types"])\n  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sepolicy/__init__.py", line 197, in <genexpr>\n    return ({\n  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setools/typeattrquery.py", line 65, in results\n    for attr in self.policy.typeattributes():\nAttributeError: \'NoneType\' object has no attribute \'typeattributes\'\n')

$ semanage
bash: semanage: command not found

Pay attention, I've said there's no system-config-selinux in Debian.

Code:

sudo apt install policycoreutils-{gui,python-utils} setools-gui

semanage is an admin tool.

Code:

/usr/sbin/semanage -h
apol -h
