Description Adam Williamson 2022-02-11 16:38:25 UTC
Description of problem:
Happens frequently without me doing anything specific to trigger it, on current F36.
SELinux is preventing pool-/usr/libex from 'read' accesses on the directory /var/lib/flatpak/repo.

*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests   *******************

If you want to allow libex to have read access on the repo directory
Then you need to change the label on /var/lib/flatpak/repo
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/var/lib/flatpak/repo'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: bin_t, boot_t, dbusd_etc_t, device_t, devpts_t, etc_runtime_t, etc_t, fonts_cache_t, fonts_t, lib_t, locale_t, man_cache_t, man_t, pkcs11_modules_conf_t, root_t, shell_exec_t, src_t, system_conf_t, system_db_t, textrel_shlib_t, tmpfs_t, usr_t, var_run_t.
Then execute:
restorecon -v '/var/lib/flatpak/repo'


*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that libex should be allowed read access on the repo directory 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 'pool-/usr/libex' --raw | audit2allow -M my-poolusrlibex
# semodule -X 300 -i my-poolusrlibex.pp
