+Subject: [PATCH] checkpolicy: remove unused te_assertions
+
+This variable is declared in a header file, but never defined or used.
+The te_assert structure definition is only used in this declaration, so
+remove both.
+
+Upstream: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/4d330d0d3155211f119b3082f728ae42dcc01e96#diff-daf264ea505347df0d59a3a97a07742e
