Description Sam Varshavchik 2019-11-30 15:40:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

Latest grub2 update logs a bunch of permission errors:

  Upgrading        : glib2-2.62.3-1.fc31.x86_64                           1/184 
  Upgrading        : grub2-common-1:2.02-103.fc31.noarch                  2/184 
error: lsetfilecon: (/boot/efi/EFI/fedora, system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0) Operation not supported

Other grub2 packages logged similar errors for stuff that they install into /boot/efi/EFI

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

grub2-common-1:2.02-103.fc31.noarch

How reproducible:

About half of various servers reported these errors when installing this update.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install the grub update

Actual results:

A bunch of permission errors, but the update does get installed.

Expected results:

No errors.

Additional info:

The errors do not appear to be fatal, the servers that experienced this problem seem to have survived their reboot.

The servers that appear to experience this problem use EFI to boot, and the selinux context is:

drwx------. 3 root root system_u:object_r:dosfs_t:s0 4096 Nov 30 10:29 /boot/efi/EFI/fedora

restorecon does not appear to fix this.

Non-EFI servers without a /boot/efi:

drwx------. 2 root root system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0 1024 Oct 10 03:35 /boot/efi/EFI/fedora

Comment 4 Didik Supriadi 2020-04-23 22:53:55 UTC 
I'm just worried if it could be an issue when I do system-upgrade for Fedore next release, F32.
