Description of problem: up2date is not running under a context that allows it to install rpm files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to run up2date 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: You need to modify /etc/security/console.apps/up2date USER=root PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/up2date NOXOPTION=--nox SESSION=true ROLE=sysadm_r TYPE=rpm_t ROLE and TYPE will cause up2date to run with the rpm_t policy and allow it to install rpm's on a SELinux box. If the box is not SELinux these fields will be ignored. Could you add them to the up2date package. >
I don't know whether this is the same issue, but for my case up2date couldn't even run. If I start up2date as a normal user, I get the following error after entering root password: "Could not set exec context to user_u:sysadm_r:sysadm_t." If I start update as root user, it runs.
I tried making the change recommended, it had no effect.
I tried to modify "/etc/security/console.apps/up2date" to add the following lines as recommended by the bug reporter: ROLE=sysadm_r TYPE=rpm_t I got the following error: [chennan@localhost chennan]$ up2date Could not set exec context to user_u:rpm_t:sysadm_r. Broken pipe
You need to update the usermode package and grab the latest policy files.
committed to cvs, 4.3.15 or higher should have it
running uptodate stated there was an ethereal dependency problem.. after rebooting i got to: halted Kernel Panic: attempted to kill init! to fix this i had to boot into rescue mode...and edit the following: /etc/sysconfig/selinux this originally read: SELINUX=enforcing in order to boot my system I changed it to: SELINUX=disabled then had to: chroot /mnt/sysimage to get back into fedora core 2 test 2 hope this info helps... just reporting my similar problem.
Initially I had the same problem as #3 above, but upgrading to policy-1.10.1-4 and kernel-2.6.5-1.308 from the development tree on an otherwise blank fc2test2 resolves this. My recomendation would be to close this as RAWHIDE
