NAME

       se_dpkg,se_apt-get,se_aptitude,se_dpkg-reconfigure,se_dselect,se_synaptic  -  run a Debian package system
       programs in the proper security context

SYNOPSIS

       se_dpkg [  <<dpkg ARGS>> ... ]
       se_apt-get [ <<apt-get ARGS>> ... ]
       se_aptitude [ <<aptitude ARGS>> ... ]
       se_dpkg-reconfigure [ <<dpkg-reconfigure ARGS>> ... ]
       se_dselect [ <<dselect ARGS>> ... ]
       se_synaptic [ <<synaptic ARGS>> ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       These programs are all symbolic links to a simple wrapper script that uses run_init to run  actually  run
       the  corresponding program after setting up the proper context.  run_init acquires a new Psuedo terminal,
       forks   a   child   process   that   binds    to    the    pseudo    terminal,    forks    the    program
       (dpkg,apt-get,aptitude,synaptic,dselect,ordpkg-reconfigure) that the user actually needs to run, and then
       sits around and connects the physical terminal it was invoked upon  with  the  psuedo  terminal,  passing
       keyboard into to the child process, and passing the output of the child process to the physical terminal.

       It  sets  up  the  psuedo  terminal properly based on the physical terminal attributes, and then sets the
       user's terminal to RAW mode, taking care to reset it on exit.
