I am editing policy source for Fedora Core 5 to study refpolicy.

I did yum update today, and found semodule -b does not work. Last week, it was working.. Version for related command is below. selinux-policy-2.3.7-2.fc5 checkpolicy-1.30.3-1.fc5 libsepol-1.12.28-1.fc5

How to reproduce problem is following:

1. I obtained selinux-policy-2.3.7-2.fc5.src.rpm from fedora mirror site.
2. installed src.rpm
3. Edit following 2 lines in selinux-policy.spec

%define BUILD_STRICT 0 %define BUILD_MLS 0 4) rpmbuild -bi selinux-policy.spec 5) cd BUILD/serefpolicy-2.3.7/ 6) Edit build.conf, like below. TYPE=targeted-mcs NAME=targeted DISTRO=redhat DIRECT_INITRC=y MONOLITHIC=n 7) make install-src 8) cd /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy 9) make load, but fails.

Why does it fail?

It shouldn't fail, but try updating to checkpolicy 1.32 and rebuilding that policy (you have a newer libsepol with an older checkpolicy, which should work, but seems to have run into a bug). By the way, you don't have to edit the spec file - you can just --define "BUILD_STRICT 0" --define "BUILD_MLS 0" on the rpmbuild command line.
