This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 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. Fixing this trivial/cosmetic issue via z-stream would be just waste of everyone's time. |
The mlocate rpm correctly defines mlocate.db to be a ghost file. However it is incorrectly stated that this file is owned by group root and that the mode is 644. When updatedb runs it creates the files with group slocate and mode 640. This leads to rpm verification errors, which lead to failed compliance checks. This bug may be present in other RHEL versions as well. A simple mlocate.spec pseudo patch would be: -%ghost %{_localstatedir}/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db +%ghost %attr(0640,root,slocate) %{_localstatedir}/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
