Description of problem: When Satellite 5.4 is installed on RHEL 5.4 (as opposed to RHEL 5.5), the Apache server will not start after installation and the Satellite will not be usable. It'd caused by the AVC denial avc: denied { execute } for pid=27570 comm="httpd" name="satidmap.pl" dev=dm-0 ino=6422541 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file which in turn is caused by Spacewalk SELinux policy modules not being loaded upon installation, as seen in /var/log/rhn/rhn-installation.log. That in turn is caused by the fact that we Require selinux-policy-base >= 2.4.6-267 but that selinux-policy-base Provides is not versioned, the the selinux-policy-targeted (which provides it) does not get upgraded. We would like a release note that the OS on which Satellite 5.4 is being installed should have its packages up-to-date. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.4.0-RHEL5-re20100924.0 How reproducible: Deterministic. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install on RHEL 5.4. Actual results: Apache does not start. Expected results: Release notes say you should have installed on RHEL 5.5. Additional info:
