I have removed selinux-policy-mls, selinux-policy-minimum and selinux-policy-targeted packages from my machine. # rpm -qa selinux-policy\* selinux-policy-doc-3.7.19-179.el6.noarch selinux-policy-3.7.19-179.el6.noarch # And I wanted to install xguest package. For unknown reasons yum chose to install selinux-policy-mls package together with xguest. Why selinux-policy-mls ? Why not selinux-policy-targeted ? # yum install xguest Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management.

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I think that the proper fix would require rpm update, fix for bug 760793 in particular. Ok, I have the following fix # rpm -Uvh /home/mgrepl/Devel/Build/xguest/noarch/xguest-1.0.9-3.el6.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: selinux-policy-targeted > 3.6.3-12 is needed by xguest-1.0.9-2.el6.noarch Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2014-0538.html I encountered the same problem like: # rpm -ivh xguest-1.0.9-2.el6.noarch.rpm warning: xguest-1.0.9-2.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 1d1e034b: NOKEY Preparing... ########################################### [100%] error: %pre(xguest-1.0.9-5.el6.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping xguest-1.0.9-2.el6 then I I downloaded the latest package and installed: # rpm -ivh xguest-1.0.9-5.el6.noarch.rpm warning: xguest-1.0.9-5.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 1d1e034b: NOKEY Preparing... ########################################### [100%] error: %pre(xguest-1.0.9-5.el6.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping xguest-1.0.9-5.el6 I saw these words in the download page: The xguest package sets up the xguest user which can be used as a temporary account to switch to or as a kiosk user account. These accounts are disabled unless SELinux is in enforcing mode. I thought if it concerned with the state of selinux,then I checked the state of selinux: # sestatus SELinux status: disabled I seted the state of selinux to enforcing and reboot: # vi /etc/selinux/config SELINUX=disabled # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=enforcing # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted # init 6 After the operating system started,I reinstalled xguest-1.0.9-2.el6.noarch.rpm: # yum install xguest Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management.
