From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910 Description of problem: As the booleans file carries important information about the current selinux configuration, it should not get replaced when updating the selinux policy (thus causing some software to fail because the boolean properties are reset to the default properties!) Yes, I know, you were changing the format of the file from True/False to 1/0 values, but this is no excuse :-) If neccessary, run a %post script that updates the boolean file to the new format, but simply overwriting a config file is never a good idea. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.51 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install selinux-policy-targeted 2. change booleans file 3. update the selinux-policy-targeted Actual Results: current (correct) config file will get renamed to booleans.rpmsave, booleans is now the default config file -- your software breaks :-( Expected Results: new booleans will get saved as booleans.rpmnew, old booleans is not touched.
Fixed in selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.53
