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.

Expected results:

Expected bind-chroot-9.16.23-1.el9.x86_64 to find and mount /var/named/chroot/usr/lib64/named in chroot

Additional info:

The dir is in the list to mount, and it exists in the main root, but the mount point does not exist in the chroot (installed by named-chroot package):

[root@staypuft:~]# egrep "lib64/named" /etc/named-chroot.files
/usr/lib64/named

# ls -ald /usr/lib64/named
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 28 Sep 20 13:52 /usr/lib64/named

# ls -al /var/named/chroot/usr/lib64/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 18 Sep 22 15:45 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 32 Sep 20 13:52 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root  6 Nov 26  2021 bind

Since named-chroot creates the dirs in /var/named/chroot, and /var/named/chroot/usr/lib64/named does not exist and therefore cannot be chroot mounted, I believe this is an error in the package (in not creating that mount point).

Comment 2 Petr Menšík 2022-10-03 12:33:55 UTC
Ah yes, there are two directories for /usr/lib64/bind and /usr/lib64/named. But in package files only %dir %{chroot_prefix}/%{_libdir}/bind is mentioned, but %dir %{chroot_prefix}/%{_libdir}/named is not. But because /etc/named-chroot.files lists /usr/lib64/named and that source directory exists, it checks whether target directory is empty. It is missing in this case and it should not.

Just adding %{chroot_prefix}/%{_libdir}/named between the chroot files should help.
