Description of problem: Ooops The policy-1.9.2-12 installs policy.16 ... good, that problem fixed. Unfortunately, policy-sources-1.9.2-12 then installs policy.15 /selinux/policyver says 16
It has been changed to install both, in case you are booting with an older kernel. Why is this a problem. It is only loading the currently running kernel's policy. Dan
That does not look like what is happening to me. I installed this "manually" ... first policy, then policy-sources. I am attaching the console log so you can se what I am seeing.
Created attachment 99136 [details] console log for installing policy and policy-sources
And then maybe I cannot actually see correctly! I just looked at that again and, yes, it does install policy.15 and policy.16 (at least that is what the timestamp says). With all of the messages about 15 I missed the "cat /selinux/policyver" Before I close this as notabug, is policy doing the right thing? It did not actually update anything (added file_contexts.rpmnew and policy.16.rpmnew).
Yes policy should not replace policy.16 or file_contexts if they have been updated locally. Policy-sources should however rebuild them and replace them will the local mods. Dan
OK, then it looks like everything is doing the right thing ... now back to testing the policies themselves.
