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 John Pittman 2018-12-10 19:21:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

sos-audit uninstall leaves broken symlinks in /etc/audit/rules.d

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

sos-audit-3.6-7.el8.noarch

Steps to Reproduce:

# yum -y install sos-audit

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qf /etc/audit/rules.d/40-sos-storage.rules 
file /etc/audit/rules.d/40-sos-storage.rules is not owned by any package

[root@localhost ~]# ls -lah /usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40*
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 3.9K Aug 10 10:42 /usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40-sos-filesystem.rules
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 3.9K Aug 10 10:42 /usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40-sos-storage.rules

[root@localhost ~]# ls -lah /etc/audit/rules.d/40*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Dec 10 14:03 /etc/audit/rules.d/40-sos-filesystem.rules -> /usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40-sos-filesystem.rules
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Dec 10 14:03 /etc/audit/rules.d/40-sos-storage.rules -> /usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40-sos-storage.rules

# yum remove sos-audit

[root@localhost ~]# ls -lah /usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40*
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40*': No such file or directory

[root@localhost ~]# ls -lah /etc/audit/rules.d/40*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Dec 10 14:03 /etc/audit/rules.d/40-sos-filesystem.rules -> /usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40-sos-filesystem.rules
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Dec 10 14:03 /etc/audit/rules.d/40-sos-storage.rules -> /usr/lib/sos/audit/rules.d/40-sos-storage.rules


Actual results:

broken symlink remains in /etc/audit/rules.d after sos-audit removal

Expected results:

symlink should be cleaned up
Comment 1 Pavel Moravec 2018-12-11 08:00:58 UTC 
Thanks for spotting it - this is already discussed in the original RFE:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601084#c59

We can resolve this flaw within that BZ and close this one as duplicate, or track this symlink issue here separately - both is ok for me.

Some feedback about preferences in solutions described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601084#c59 (and in above comments) would be great / pending on it. With no feedback in few days (when I should re-spin), I will resolve it by hardcoded:

%ghost /etc/audit/rules.d/40-sos-filesystem.rules
%ghost /etc/audit/rules.d/40-sos-storage.rules

in sos.spec.
Comment 2 John Pittman 2018-12-11 13:16:58 UTC 
Great Pavel!  Thanks for responding so quickly.  If it doesn't matter to you, I would like to track this issue here because I've made a public KCS that references this BZ for customers.  The other bug is private and has a lot of info prior to beta so I am wary of making it public.

This can be optionally tested by the reporter:

You can install the rpms locally by putting this .repo file in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory:

http://brew-task-repos.usersys.redhat.com/repos/official/sos/3.6/8.el8/sos-3.6-8.el8.repo

RPMs and build logs can be found in the following locations:
http://brew-task-repos.usersys.redhat.com/repos/official/sos/3.6/8.el8/noarch/
