Description Garrett Holmstrom 2014-04-23 20:59:49 UTC
Description of problem:
This happened toward the end of a successful mock build that I started shortly after setting the mock_enable_homedirs boolean.
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/userdel from using the 'sys_ptrace' capabilities.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that userdel should have the sys_ptrace capability by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep userdel /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
