setools package throws an error in Jammy

Asked by Tillmann Severin

During execution of setools on ubuntu jammy, I can see the following issues occure when executing all of the setools (e.g. seinfo)

~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.5 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy

~$ seinfo

I think this might be a bug, python3-numpy is installed in version python3-numpy/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 1:1.21.5-1ubuntu22.04.1 amd64. Can someone confirm this as a bug?

The version of setools that you are running seems not to be from the Ubuntu repositories, but from some foreign source.
The Ubuntu-provided version has its file in /usr/bin/seinfo

What output do you receive for the command

/usr/bin/seinfo

It is the same:

It throws the same error, because it is still using the foreign version (/home/user/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/setools/__init__.py instead of Ubuntu's /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setools/__init__.py)

I suggest that you delete everything related to setools from /home/user/.local/ and below, and then try again.

I deleted everything from my local pip directory related to setools. Then I removed setools with apt and afterwards reinstalled it with apt. Yet again, the same issue occurs. seutils are indeed python tools (see https://github.com/SELinuxProject/setools/tree/main/setools), so I think this might nevertheless be a broken package.

Still the output is:

~$ /usr/bin/seinfo

Actually, I think I solved it. Apparently it was not related to the setools package itself, but rather the pip numpy package. Thanks Manfred for pointing me to the correct direction!
