Description Bastien Nocera 2005-10-04 14:18:33 UTC

After having created /etc/selinux/strict/policy (see bug #169853), launching
seinfo will fail to open the default policy:
# seinfo
Could not open policy /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy/policy.19!
Attempting to search for another valid policy file...
Default policy search failed: Could not locate a default source policy or binary
file.

The path should obviously be /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.19, not
/etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy/policy.19.

The problem is with either libselinux' selinux_binary_policy_path(), or with the
usage of that function in seinfo.

Fixed in the upstream version, but am not sure we will put them in U3.

Comment 9 David Lawrence 2006-04-25 18:00:47 UTC

Adding to blocker bug 185483 and adding to IBM group per request of John Jarvis.

Comment 12 David Lawrence 2006-04-27 17:21:52 UTC

Mistakenly added to IBM group, removed.
