Description Dusty Mabe 2017-06-13 14:29:00 UTC

Description of problem:

a libselinux library change [1] causes the seboolean module to fail when using python3 as the interpreter [2].

This bug essentially tracks upstream issue [2]. The implications of this bug are that ansible can't be used to manage sebooleans on hosts where we want to use python3 as the interpreter.

-- At the time I was running this I was executing ansible on a Fedora 25 host with a Fedora 26 Atomic Host target:

```
$ ansible --version
ansible 2.3.0.0
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
  python version = 2.7.13 (default, May 10 2017, 20:04:28) [GCC 6.3.1 20161221 (Red Hat 6.3.1-1)]
$ rpm -q ansible
ansible-2.3.0.0-3.fc25.noarch
```

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2017-06-14 20:27:19 UTC

Thanks for the heads up. 

Will see if we need to push this as a patch or can just wait for the next release...

Comment 2 Jason Tibbitts 2017-07-21 19:15:00 UTC

This bit me as well.  Not sure if the next release is scheduled for any time soon  but a fix was very recently committed upstream.

Comment 3 Dusty Mabe 2017-07-21 19:27:09 UTC

if a commit is merged upstream then we could theoretically apply the patch (assuming it's easy) and build a patched version.

Comment 4 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2017-07-21 19:36:59 UTC

Unfortunately, the timing is such that the patch upstream won't make it into the next release (2.3.2 which is hopefully going to have just one more rc sometime early next week before 2.3.2 final is out).  2.3.3 or 2.4.0 will be the first release that it shows up in.  Here's the commits for the devel branch and to the staging branch that will eventually be merged into stable-2.3 for 2.3.3 if someone wants to apply it to the Fedora package:

* devel: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/e2d6ecfa40e8123855f0be552183e59d92da07be

* destined for stable-2.3: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/7896bcae95f80a64d18364efbe7e6302397517e6

Comment 5 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2017-07-25 22:57:45 UTC

Okay, due to needing another rc, we've landed the fix in stable-2.3 now for 2.3.2rc4.  If all goes well it will make 2.3.2 final.
