Please complete the full yum -y upgrade to get to the latest policy and latest tools.

Comment 2 Quentin Armitage 2009-09-22 07:17:55 UTC

I have done a yum upgrade and selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted were upgraded to 3.6.32-7.fc12, and I still get the error messages. The libselinux packages appear to be up to date already.

I subsequently upgraded the two packages to 3.6.32-8.fc12 and the error messages still occur.

I noticed that during the yum upgrade, I get the following error message:
  Updating       : selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.32-8.fc12.noarch             2/4 
libsepol.permission_copy_callback: Module BackupPC depends on permission request_module in class system, not satisfied (No such file or directory).
libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed (No such file or directory).
semodule:  Failed!

I'm not clear if this is pertinent, or what I need to do to resolve it.

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2009-09-22 11:47:43 UTC

Same here, this seems related to bug #524113. I'll try removing BackupPC and see if relabeling works.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2009-09-22 12:59:47 UTC

Yes we need an updated BackupPC package to rebuild the policy.  We accidently build a selinux-policy with a named access request_module instead of module_request.  So for now remove the BackupPC module package.

semodule -r BackupPC
Then perform the selinux-policy-upgrade

All BackupPC has do to is rebuild against the latest selinux-policy package and we should be back in sync.  This is a bug in selinux-policy that caused BackupPC to suck in the wrong access type.  Sorry.

Comment 5 Johan Cwiklinski 2009-09-23 16:15:12 UTC

BackupPC has just been rebuilt (BackupPC-3_1_0-8_fc12).
