From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: The post-install script of policy-sources creates both /etc/security/selinux/policy.`cat /selinux/policyvers` and /etc/security/selinux/policy.15 (from PREVPOLICYVER). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policy-sources-1.9.2-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rm -f /etc/security/selinux/* 2.up2date -u policy-sources (upgrading from the previous version) Actual Results: It works, but an old policy file is created and left behind. Expected Results: I don't see why it should be created, but it should definitely not be left behind. Ideally, if the newly-generated policy is identical to the file installed by the policy rpm, it shouldn't be replaced, such that .rpm{save,new} files aren't created on the next update. Additional info:
We are installing both because you might have a kernel on the machine that only supports 15. So if you boot that kernel you need 15. We will have this problem when we go to 17, 18... We might be able to drop 15 when we go to the test3
