Bug 868657

policycoreutils-python-2.1.13-15.fc18.i686 still has the issue.

Strange I am not seeing this.

# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/home/fedora(/.*)?"
#
What does 

semanage fcontext -l -C
SELinux fcontext                                   type               Context

/home/fedora(/.*)?                                 all files          system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 
/sda3(/.*)?                                        all files          system_u:object_r:svirt_t:s0 
/test/symlinked/file                               regular file       system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 
/usr/lib/libreoffice(/.*)?/bin(/.*)?               all files          system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 

SELinux Local fcontext Equivalence 

/opt/rh/ruby-1.0 = /

Say?

On the system with problem no output is returned:
[root@bruno bruno]# semanage fcontext -l -C
[root@bruno bruno]#

rpm -q libsemanage

Also can you get me the strace, so I have some idea where this is happening?

libsemanage-2.1.9-1.fc19.i686

How do I get the strace? Usually python stuff just prints one when it crashes.

strace -o /tmp/strace.out semanage fcontext -d -t httpd_sys_content_t "/home/fedora(/.*)?"

When I use -d instead of -a I just get a normal error message. Running strace didn't seem to help.
[root@bruno bruno]# strace -o /tmp/strace.out semanage fcontext -d -t httpd_sys_content_t "/home/fedora(/.*)?"
/usr/sbin/semanage: File context for /home/fedora(/.*)? is not defined
[root@bruno bruno]# strace -o /tmp/strace.out semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/home/fedora(/.*)?"
Segmentation fault

strace output

That was dumb. I didn't read the command to see that the output was stuff in /tmp. I have attached what i think you are looking for.

I just noticed that you are running F19 builds.  I did not know f19 had a newer build.  I will rebuild the latest into Rawhide.  I guess it is time I moved on to Rawhide.

Fixed in policycoreutils-2.1.13-16.fc19 (I hope)

I am still getting a segfault with policycoreutils-2.1.13-17.fc19.i686. I need to run now, but I'll get an strace late tonight and also see if the minimum policy installs without error.

rpm -q libsepol libselinux

Building new versions of libselinux, libsepol and checkpolicy

bash-4.2$ rpm -q libsepol libselinux
libsepol-2.1.8-2.fc19.i686
libselinux-2.1.12-1.fc19.i686

I'm working on doing the checkpolicy update now.

Updated strace output for checkpolicy-2.1.11-2.fc19.i686

The problem still happens with checkpolicy-2.1.11-2.fc19.i686.

I'm still seeing:
Installing : selinux-policy-minimum-3.11.1-43.fc18.noarch                 1/1 
libsepol.sepol_context_from_string: malformed context "" (Invalid argument).
libsepol.sepol_context_from_string: could not construct context from string (Invalid argument).
libsepol.sepol_context_from_string: malformed context "" (Invalid argument).
libsepol.sepol_context_from_string: could not construct context from string (Invalid argument).
when reinstalling selinux-policy-minimum (the duplicate bug, 868655).

With policycoreutils-2.1.13-18.fc19.i686 selinux-policy-minimum-3.11.1-43.fc18.noarch re-installs cleanly, but I am still seeing a segfault when trying to add a context pattern with semanage.

After upgrading to selinux-policy-3.11.1-46.fc18.noarch (and corresponding subpackages) I can now add local context rules. It's odd that this fixed this, but my immediate problem is resolved.

I have no idea.  Bruno thanks for your patience.  I am trying to upgrade to rawhide and for some reason yum is blowing up, leaving me half way there.  If you have more problems reopen the bug.
