Description Milan Zázrivec 2008-05-23 13:51:50 UTC
Description of problem:
Several files under /usr/share/texmf owned by tetex are being installed
with incorrect selinux context (probably result of running texhash in %post).
tetex should restorecon -R /usr/share/texmf in %post to fix this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tetex-3.0-33.2.el5_1.2 / RHEL5.2 GA

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL5.2, tetex included, selinux enabled
2. # setfiles -vqn /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts \
     /usr/share/texmf|grep relabeling

Comment 1 Milan Zázrivec 2008-05-23 14:19:01 UTC
restorecon -R /usr/share/texmf in %post of tetex will not affect anaconda
installations, since policycoreutils (that restorecon is part of) is usually
installed after all tetex* packages.

David, would it be possible to fix the context of files under /usr/share/texmf
in anaconda using  setFileCons() ?

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2008-05-23 19:15:45 UTC
Yes, we can add it to the static list in anaconda that restorecon runs for.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2008-07-21 23:01:59 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2009-02-03 15:37:47 UTC
Putting all the possible files that could be modified by a package's %post script into a list in anaconda is not maintainable.  Instead, the tetex spec file should Requires(post): policycoreutils to make sure that package is installed early enough.  policycoreutils is going to get installed regardless, so not having a Requires doesn't help in any way.
