Description of problem: This haååens about 500 times on login to gnome. I assume dnf update or gnome software is updating in the background. SELinux is preventing gdb from 'write' accesses on the file /var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-wal. ***** Plugin restorecon (94.8 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-wal default label should be rpm_var_lib_t. Then you can run restorecon. The access attempt may have been stopped due to insufficient permissions to access a parent directory in which case try to change the following command accordingly. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-wal ***** Plugin catchall_labels (5.21 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to allow gdb to have write access on the rpmdb.sqlite-wal file Then you need to change the label on /var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-wal Do # semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-wal' where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: abrt_etc_t, abrt_tmp_t, abrt_upload_watch_tmp_t, abrt_var_cache_t, abrt_var_log_t, abrt_var_run_t, afs_cache_t, initrc_tmp_t, kdump_crash_t, mail_home_rw_t, mock_var_lib_t, postfix_postdrop_t, puppet_tmp_t, rhsmcertd_var_run_t, rpm_log_t, rpm_var_cache_t, rpm_var_run_t, sysfs_t, user_cron_spool_t, user_tmp_t, usr_t. Then execute: restorecon -v '/var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-wal' ***** Plugin catchall (1.44 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that gdb should be allowed write access on the rpmdb.sqlite-wal file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 'gdb' --raw | audit2allow -M my-gdb # semodule -X 300 -i my-gdb.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lib/rpm/rpmdb.sqlite-wal [ file ] Source gdb Source Path gdb Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM <Unknown> Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.6-30.fc33.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 5.8.18-300.fc33.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 2 19:09:05 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 537 First Seen 2020-11-15 16:29:51 CET Last Seen 2020-11-20 14:05:20 CET Local ID f8e878ff-78c7-41d4-a4eb-4d5e4e8c3b9b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1605877520.992:618): avc: denied { write } for pid=2461 comm="abrt-action-lis" name="rpmdb.sqlite-wal" dev="dm-0" ino=456 scontext=system_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 Hash: gdb,abrt_t,var_lib_t,file,write Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.14.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.8.18-300.fc33.x86_64 type: libreport
