Description Jan Pokorný [poki] 2018-07-05 15:56:34 UTC

Issues:

1. $SUMMARY, despite it is documented in getsebool(8):

$ getsebool -a
> setsebool: invalid option -- 'a'

2. /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/setsebool file,
   referring to "getsebool -a" (see 1.) is delivered with
   policycoreutils-python-utils although it'd be expected that
   it accompanies libselinux-utils package (containing [sg]etsebool
   proper, anything else looks like a pointless, irrational split)

$ rpm -q libselinux-utils policycoreutils-python-utils
> libselinux-utils-2.8-1.fc29.x86_64
> policycoreutils-python-utils-2.8-3.fc29.noarch

Comment 1 Petr Lautrbach 2018-07-08 19:11:46 UTC

getsebool works as expected for me:

^&^ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/getsebool 
libselinux-utils-2.8-1.fc29.x86_64

^&^ getsebool -a | head -n 2   
abrt_anon_write --> off
abrt_handle_event --> off


> $ getsebool -a
> > setsebool: invalid option -- 'a'

This is strange. getsebool and setsebool are 2 different utilities and there's no reason for such output.


setsebool is shipped in policycoreutils package:

^&^ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/setsebool 
policycoreutils-2.8-3.fc29.x86_64

But you are right that completion file is in policycoreuitls-python-utils while it should be directly in policycoreutils with the tool.(In reply to Jan Pokorný from comment #0)

Comment 2 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2018-07-09 12:35:34 UTC

Yes, it works fine, just a matter of a lame assessment of mine -- was
blind to the apparent mismatch https://github.com/garabik/grc/pull/75
:-/

Thanks for considering proper packaging split & feel free to close this
bug at your deliberation.

Comment 3 Jan Kurik 2018-08-14 09:55:35 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.
