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 Sandro Bonazzola 2018-04-23 13:37:45 UTC 
cockpit-dashboard uses semanage in %post section but doesn't require selinux-policy-targeted at %post section

This allow to install cockpit-dashboard before selinux-policy-targeted while building the RHV-M appliance with anaconda generating the following traceback extracted from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1563737

Comment 1 Martin Pitt 2018-04-24 06:52:13 UTC 
Indeed this workaround is now obsolete for 7.5, so the whole %post can be dropped for cockpit-dashboard. It's too late for 7.5.1, but I'll do that for 7.5.2 (and of course 7.6).

Aside from that traceback (which isn't fatal) this should not have broken anything at runtime, right?

I'm not aware of any other issue other than the traceback.
Comment 3 Martin Pitt 2018-05-29 12:00:49 UTC 
The upstream fix (https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/commit/f2134507aa0) landed in version 158. RHEL Extras 7.5.1 has cockpit-dashboard 160, so this is fixed there.
Comment 4 Martin Pitt 2018-05-30 11:43:06 UTC 
Sorry, this wasn't in the downstream spec file yet. Reopening, and adding to the current extras rebase for 7.5.2 (#1582426)
