missing semanage tools on el8 about puppet-selinux HOT 3 CLOSED

this seems to be a working fix for me:

any opinions? shall I create a PR?

@granquet are you setting selinux::manage_package: false? Otherwise, by default, policycoreutils-python-utils is installed by this module.

you are right, I should have looked a bit harder at the code in selinux_package_spec.rb

I'm actually using puppet-selinux through voxpupuli/puppet-squid ... which, after a quick glance, do not seem to do anything funky either (at least I'm sure no one is touching selinux:manage_package, not me, not voxpupuli/puppet-squid).

the good news is that I'm now unable to reproduce. not sure what went wrong in the first place. probably something on my setup.
I'll re-open if I see this issue coming back.

thx for your input,
Much appreciated :)
