Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2007-01-10 15:51:50 EST

Were you sitting in the /var/spool/postfix directory when you did the rpm?

Comment 2 Nicola Soranzo 2007-01-10 19:48:30 EST

I saw the same and I was in my user home directory when I executed sudo yum update.

Comment 3 David Juran 2007-01-11 03:48:31 EST

No, but on line 534 in ./glibc-2.5-20061008T1257/fedora/tzdata-update.c there is
a reference to /var/spool/postfix/etc/localtime. I'm not quite sure what
tzdata-update is supposed to be doing, but I suspect this line is causing the
denial. Now whether tzdata-update should be messing with postfix files or not is
another question...

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2007-01-11 08:17:15 EST

Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-25

Comment 5 Nicola Soranzo 2007-06-08 11:59:09 EDT

This bug should be closed!

Comment 6 David Juran 2007-06-11 07:40:01 EDT
