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.

Description Milos Malik 2014-04-08 13:37:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
 * few unexpected Permission denied messages appears during the rebuild of the source RPM which is the reason why the rebuild process fails

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
acl-2.2.51-12.el7.src.rpm

How reproducible:
always (all architectures, does not matter if SELinux is in enforcing or permissive mode)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download acl-2.2.51-12.el7.src.rpm
2. rpmbuild --rebuild acl-2.2.51-12.el7.src.rpm
3. search for errors in the rpmbuild output

Actual results:
101 commands (97 passed, 4 failed)
gmake[1]: *** [root/permissions.test] Error 4
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/acl-2.2.51/test'
make: *** [root-tests] Error 2
+ exit 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.DlWgHZ (%check)

Expected results:
 * internal test suite passes

Comment 2 Milos Malik 2014-04-08 18:57:35 UTC 
# gpasswd -a daemon bin
Adding user daemon to group bin
#

Now the internal test suite passes.
Comment 3 Kamil Dudka 2014-04-14 12:00:20 UTC 
Thanks for the analysis and sorry for the late reply on this, I was on vacation last week.  The bug only happens if rpmbuild is run by the root user.  mock runs it under a non-privileged user, so the bug does not affect production builds.

I am afraid that above is the actual fix.  It cannot be done from the acl package because the %check section of acl.spec is not supposed to alter the system out of the build root.  You simply need to run the command yourself.

The upstream test (test/root/permissions.test) is clearly documented to have such a requirement:

    This script tests if file permissions are properly checked with and
    without ACLs. The script must be run as root to allow switching users.
    The following users are required. They must be a member in the groups
    listed in parentheses.

        bin (bin)
        daemon (bin, daemon)

The only fix I can implement would be to skip the test in case the requirement is not met (which is not on default RHEL-7).
