Genuinely the only time Arch has broken something I can't fix myself (lemmy.world)

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).

If you’re not running SELinux in enforcing mode and you’re not developing policy then you’re really not doing anything with it, for what it’s worth.

SELinux without a policy similar to a targeted policy seems not advisable on a rolling release system, unless you are actively maintaining a policy for the use case or your upstream package maintainers are releasing robust policy for everything

It was a way to learn how to actually use SE Linux and its different components. I still have more that I wanna do with it, but it's one of those projects that's been on the back burner for a while
