## Description:

This update for policycoreutils fixes the following issues:

  * Reintroduce sandbox package and a couple quality of life improvements
    (bsc#1266226)

    devel
  * Improve policycoreutils-devel package dependencies (bsc#1236193).

  * Properly exclude gui.py file (bsc#1242096)

  * Move gui.py file to gui sub-package to prevent policycoreutil python
    packages from having excessive requirements
