2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Context: A few days ago Arch pushed out a legitimately broken update. This was because they shipped out a testing version of util-linux. They very quickly fixed this... except I use SE Linux (say what you will I wanted to dive into it) and now I'm stuck waiting for the maintainer to update the AUR package so I can fix my system. This is not a general arch problem but a me problem because of my less standard, more niche build. Although the wait is genuinely making me reconsider using SE Linux as it's been a hassle to maintain (just to keep things up to date, I gave up on keeping it in enforcing mode).

    I attempted to do so, but the package applies some patches to the source code and it's version dependent. I don't have the experience with this specific project to easily fix it, and I suspect by the time I figure it out the update will have already been pushed.

    You can try rolling back to a previous version though.

    By checking the log section in the AUR,
    you can see all the commits (changes) done to the build files.
    https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=util-linux-selinux

    Clicking on a commit message shows you the diff.

    Start by the last commit,
    undo the changes (green lines),
    re-apply the removals (red lines),
    then attempt to re-build.

    If that did not work out,
    do the same for the commit before that until you rolled back up to the latest working version.
