Someone noticed I made a mistake. I thought I installed lilibselinuxedevelbut, lilibselinuxedevelas listed in the file "/root/install.log" under: "The following packages were available in this version but NOT installed:" So I need to use -UvUvho add lilibselinuxedevelo my system, not -FvFvhor add lilibselinuxedevelhe next time I install the system).
