RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
If livecd-creator is creating an iso from packageset which also includes a custom selinux policy which is not installed on the host, then livecd-creator fails, because the relabeling inside the chroot fails.

To fix bug 1121301 a check was added to fail if enforcing mode is set in the kickstart. This is maybe semantically not good, because the kickstart describes the requirement on the runtime, and should not have this direct affect at build time.
I understand why the fix was introduced, but it should be implemented different. I.e. add a switch to livecd-creator to fail on this kind of a problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 7.2
CentOS 7.2

livecd-tools-21.4-2.el7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a kickstart which includes an selinux module which is not used on the build host
2. Run livecd-creator
3.

Actual results:
iso build fails

Expected results:
iso build succeeds

Additional info:
- This looks like a regression of bug 1121301
- This is filed in CentOS as well: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=10243
- There is a patch which reverts the fix for 1121301: https://github.com/tlitovsk/livecd-tools/commit/247ccd1d860aefa231e0216d450559b777d77408
