So the fix below is a solution to the first step of the problem.

Turns out, policygentool actually does need  polgen and not sepolgen.  And polgen is in no RPM’s I could find in the CentOS 5 repos.

How I fixed this was replace the CentOS 5 file with the Fedora 8 policygentool file.  The Fedora 8 version actually does not import polgen or sepolgen: it only uses standard Python libraries.

Subject: [CentOS] policygentool in selinux-policy-devel-2.4.6-106

I just installed a fresh copy of Centos 5.1, yum upgraded all, and the following error occurred with selinux-policy-devel-2.4.6-106.el5_1.3 rpm.

When I was trying to run policygentool, I was getting the following error:

     Traceback (most recent call last):

        File “/usr/share/selinux/devel/policygentool”, line 25, in ?

          Import polgen

ImportError: No module named polgen

Turns out, online 25 the following diff should be made:

- import polgen

+ import sepolgen

I assume the Python module changed names.

I uninstalled the RPM and reinstalled it to ensure I was getting the same error, and I did.
