Description Konstantin Volkov 2012-06-28 15:03:01 UTC
Description of problem:

iptables init script calls /sbin/restorecon, but iptables rpm doesn't require the corresponding policycoreutils package

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

iptables-1.4.7-5.1.el6_2

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

---
[root@noip ~]# /etc/init.d/iptables save
iptables: Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: /etc/init.d/iptables: line 268: restorecon: command not found
                                                           [FAILED]
[root@noip ~]# cat /etc/init.d/iptables | grep restorecon
                && restorecon $IPTABLES_DATA.save \
                && restorecon $IPTABLES_DATA \
[root@noip ~]# which restorecon
/usr/bin/which: no restorecon in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
[root@noip ~]# rpm -q iptables --requires | grep restorecon
[root@noip ~]# rpm -q iptables --requires | grep coreutils
---

On another RHEL6 node:

---
[root@hephaestus ~]# which restorecon
/sbin/restorecon
[root@hephaestus ~]# rpm -qf /sbin/restorecon
policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.21.el6_2.x86_64
---
  
Actual results:
/etc/init.d/iptables save fails

Expected results:
/etc/init.d/iptables save should work

Please add the policycoreutils to the iptables package requires
