RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:1569 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE policycoreutils bug fix update 2014-10-14 01:27:36 UTC

Description Ted X Toth 2013-11-07 21:54:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you do run for example 'semanage permissive -a permissive' an invalid te file will be generated a left in /var/lib/selinux (I think) and then if you try to run 
'semanage permissive -a <type>' again it will fail because it tries to compile the bad te file previously generated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.30.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.semanage permissive -a permissive
2.semanage permissive -a secadm_t
3.

Actual results:
step 2 fails because step 1 failed

Expected results:

the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Fixed in  policycoreutils-2.1.14-89.el7
Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2014-04-23 12:45:43 UTC 
Yes, we have

#semanage permissive -a permissive
ValueError: permissive is not a domain type
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2014-04-23 12:50:57 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product
Management has requested further review of this request by

Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products.
This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.
Comment 8 Michal Trunecka 2014-07-04 07:07:30 UTC 
Now it seems to be broken a bit:

(even without trying the command with nonexisting type before)

# rpm -qa policycoreutils\*
policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.41.el6.x86_64
policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.41.el6.x86_64
# semanage permissive -a httpd_t
/usr/sbin/semanage: httpd_t is not a domain type

strange, it works on Fedora with the same patch. Need to re-check it.
