Hi,
running Debian Sid with HEAD refpolicy...
I tried to install bind9 and got some further denials for access to pty
and pipe of apt_t domain. This is a continuation of the patch from
Martin Orr in thread "refpolicy: patch for ldconfig from glibc 2.7...",
witch was about apt finally.

sid:/var/lib/dpkg/info# se_apt-get install bind9

I tried also to install kernel image and got denials:

Attached patch solves the most of this denials, but I doubt this is the
right way.  Should be used some attribute for this?  I noticed attribute
privfd and macro domain_interactive_fd(), what about it?  Rpm already
has such macro calls
./policy/modules/admin/rpm.te:domain_interactive_fd(rpm_t)
./policy/modules/admin/rpm.te:domain_interactive_fd(rpm_script_t)

I tried to use this macro for apt_t, and all use fd denials above are
solved with it. Should be things done in this way?

Thanks for comments.
