"data did not represent a module" error

[Benjamin Youngdahl]

Hello.  I saw some previous discussions on this list regarding the message:
 "libsemanage.parse_module_headers: Data did not represent a module."
when upgrading a policy RPM.

Did I miss how to resolve this issue, and also what perhaps I'd manage to do
to get things into this state?  I'd appreciate any help you can give
pointing me in the right direction.

Best regards,
Ben

Looks like a packaging problem to me; something is running semodule -i
on a module package that was built as a base policy module.

Ok the problem is that I have added enableaudit.pp and the post install 
is trying to load it.  I need to change the
postinstall to

semodule -b /usr/share/selinux/%1/base.pp -s %1 \
for file in $(ls /usr/share/selinux/%1 | grep -v -e base.pp -e 
enableaudit.pp ) \
do \
    semodule -i /usr/share/selinux/%1/$file -s %1;\
done; \
