Description Dalibor Pospíšil 2016-11-03 15:54:53 UTC

Description of problem:

If the other store contains a boolean which does not exist in the active policy sepolicy -P .. booleans -a does not list it.

The root cause might be the same as in bz1391605.

This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
