Subject: Error: Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.42 2022-12-11 actual: 10.36 2020-12-04

Package: selinux-policy-default
Version: 2:2.20210203-7
Severity: minor

After upgading from bullseye to bookworm...
I had the following error many time (tens or hundreds times) when I use apt/dpkg programs:

> dpkg: warning: selinux: Regex version mismatch, expected: 10.42 2022-12-11 actual: 10.36 2020-12-04

I installed SELinux at some point on my system and partially removed it.
Some packages were in configured (uninstalled) state.

After purging those packages configuraiton, the error don't occur
anymore :

Purging configuration files for selinux-basics (0.5.8) ...
Purging configuration files for selinux-policy-dev (2:2.20210203-7) ...
Purging configuration files for at (3.1.23-1) ...
Purging configuration files for selinux-policy-default (2:2.20210203-7) ...
Purging configuration files for setools-gui (4.3.0-2) ...
Purging configuration files for discover (2.1.2-8) ...


My assumption is that this error wouldn't occur anymore if the packages were
installed state during the upgrade.

Thanks
