** Description changed:

- Dear Maintainer,
+ [Impact]
  
- We are implementing SCAP content based on CIS and STIG compliance rules.
- A good portion of these rules are beyond the scope of SCAP and OVAL, and
- will require the Script Check Engine (SCE) facility provided by
- OpenSCAP. However SCE is not enabled by default, and will require the
- addition of the "--enable-sce" option in the "debian/rules" file to turn
- it on.
+ Canonical security certification team is implementing SCAP content based
+ on CIS and STIG compliance rules. A good portion of these rules are
+ beyond the scope of SCAP and OVAL, and will require the Script Check
+ Engine (SCE) facility provided by OpenSCAP.
+ 
+ SCE is not enabled by default, and will require the addition of the
+ "--enable-sce" option in the "debian/rules" file to turn it on. The
+ attached patch has all the necessary code change.
+ 
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ run the command "oscap --v", and without the SCE option, content under
+ "==== Capabilities added by auto-loaded plugins ====" will be empty.
+ With the SCE option turned on, we'll see the following:
+ 
+    ==== Capabilities added by auto-loaded plugins ====
+    SCE Version: 1.0 (from libopenscap_sce.so.8)
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ 
+ Using the same patch attached to this bug report, Canonical security
+ certification team has created a PPA here:
+ https://launchpad.net/~guanym/+archive/ubuntu/ppa. The team is actively
+ using the PPA to develop SCAP content, including shell and python
+ scripts for SCE consumption. No regression has been noticed.
+ 
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ A similar bug report has been submitted to Debian.
