Comment 1 František Dvořák 2014-01-04 20:56:03 UTC
Description of problem:

semanage can't set selinux type


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

policycoreutils-python-2.2.4-5.fc20.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-106.fc20.noarch


How reproducible:

Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install policycoreutils-python
2. mkdir -p /var/lib/bdii/db
3. semanage fcontext -a -t slapd_db_t "/var/lib/bdii/db(/.*)?"
4. ls -laZ /var/lib/bdii/db


Actual results:

libsepol.mls_from_string: invalid MLS context None (No such file or directory).
libsepol.mls_from_string: could not construct mls context structure (No such file or directory).
libsepol.context_from_record: could not create context structure (Invalid argument).
libsemanage.validate_handler: invalid context system_u:object_r:slapd_db_t:None specified for /var/lib/bdii/db(/.*)? [all files] (Invalid argument).
libsemanage.dbase_llist_iterate: could not iterate over records (Invalid argument).
ValueError: Could not commit semanage transaction

drwxr-xr-x. ldap ldap system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0   .
drwxr-xr-x. ldap ldap system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0   ..


Expected results:

slapd_db_t selinux type set


Additional info:

I found this problem during installing and using bdii ==> alternative steps to reproducing (where error messages are suppressed in %post install scripts):

yum install bdii
systemctl start bdii.service
ls -laZ /var/lib/bdii/db

Comment 2 František Dvořák 2014-01-05 19:32:16 UTC
Additional observations:
- doesn't work also in the newer version from testing: policycoreutils-2.2.4-6.fc20.x86_64
- working fine in previous version: policycoreutils-2.2.2-3.fc20.x86_64
