Description of problem: According to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sec-Making_Persistent_Changes_to_a_GRUB_2_Menu_Using_the_grubby_Tool.html in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, /etc/grub2.cfg is symlink to the grub.cfg, whose location is architecture dependant. That means all occurences of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg [or typo-ed /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg] are pointing to the file which might be missing on architecture different to x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): scap-security-guide-0.1.30-3.el7.noarch How reproducible: reliably Steps to Reproduce: 1. just grep over the datastream 2. 3. Actual results: /etc/grub2/grub.cfg and /etc/grub2/grub2.cfg are used there abundantly. Expected results: Only /etc/grub2.cfg is used for rules validation. Additional info: /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg typo was already fixed upstream: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/commit/0fdfbd268a5022ef19263f228f98754941317854
Fix proposed upstream: https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/pull/1737
This won't be as easy to fix as I thought, moving back to NEW. We could use realpath and figure out the final absolute path but removing the symlink may be an actual use-case and that would be broken after this change. Not clear how to proceed here.
This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
