Cannot install systemd-selinux

I am trying to install SELinux on a VM so I can test before installing on my home desktop and laptop.

I trusted Timothee Ravier's GPG key, enabled the siosm-selinux repository, and tried to install the selinux group, but the installation failed with "could not satisfy dependencies".

I was asked to remove libsystemd because it was in conflict with systemd-selinux, and I said "yes", but then the transaction failed because multiple other packages including polkit and upower were depending on libsystemd.

The only way I can see this happening is if systemd-selinux does not provide libsystemd. However, I checked under the PKGBUILD for systemd-selinux and found that it DOES provide libsystemd=$pkgver.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or should I contact the maintainer?

It's being removed due to unforseen problems, which should be fixed by 3.15: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37578
