Description Kevin Raymond 2013-10-31 10:01:45 UTC

abrt-2.1.9-1.fc20.x86_64
audit-2.3.2-1.fc20.x86_64

I got the following report:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gdb from using the ptrace access on a process.

Alright, wanting to give the permissions for this session, I am reading

# grep gdb /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

As the command to use. But the first command returns me:
compilation failed:
sh: /usr/bin/checkmodule: No such file or directory

Comment 1 Kevin Raymond 2013-10-31 10:08:41 UTC

Shouldn't the checkpolicy package providing checkmodule be required by abrt?

Comment 2 Michal Toman 2013-10-31 10:17:53 UTC

SELinux errors may be generated by any application, not just abrt.

The dependency should be in policycoreutils package which contains audit2allow and semodule commands. Reassigning.

Comment 3 Dale Snell 2013-10-31 19:40:52 UTC

I also got the "sh: /usr/bin/checkmodule: No such file or directory" error message when trying to compile a new SELinux policy module.  ABRT was not involved.

I installed selinux-policy-devel.noarch and selinux-policy-doc.noarch, plus their dependencies, which fixed the "missing checkmodule" problem.

Comment 4 Simon Grushka 2013-12-30 18:34:26 UTC

This bug still appears on the freshly installed system (f20 as well as- AFAIK- F19); one can solve it by installing checkpolicy package.
