Bug 1554626

The Rakudo packages from nxadm at Github are not normal packages. I looked at the packages for some time ago. They doing not a build of the software. They simple collect files to a package that are indeed already installed. There will first MoarVM be installed, then NQP, then Rakudo and then zef. At least all the files will be collected at are already installed. This is the reason why all the files of MoarVM, NQP, Radudo and zef can be get in one RPM.

It is not possible to do a rebuild of the source rpm. This is not supported from the Fedora build system. So the rpm is also only for the x86_64 architecture where the files are collected.

I can not reproduce the error. I tried 'zef install Net::SMTP' as root.

I have noticed the same thing.  I have about three machines I had to use the git rpm and two that I use the Fedora rpm

What happens on a machine with the problem, if you remove the maorvm, nqp, rakudo package and install rakudo and rakudo-zef again from the Fedora repository?

On this machine -- the one I reported it on -- there is no symptom change.  I actually did it three times.  I asked the Perl6 mailing list and they told me to go get the rpm from git.

I will build a new rakudo-zef package on top of rakudo 2018.02 for F27. It is a strange symptom, that it works on one machine and not on the other. Perhaps I will not have time for it this week, then the rebuild of rakudo-zef will be done next week.

Awesome. If it happens again, I suspect it is SELinux and dontaudits, so nothing shows in sealert.   (I just had this issue with lightdm.)

To check if it has something to do with SELinux you can disable it with

 > setenforce 0

Will try when you redo the RPM.  It did not matter on this version.

And to temporarily remove "dontaudits" so alterts will always show in sealerts

   # semodule -BD   

To put it back

  # semodule -B
