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 sgardner 2023-08-16 17:18:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
When installing the gcc-toolset-11-binutils.  Files within directory "/opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/usr/share/locale/" are created with incorrect context.

The files are expected to get context from gcc-toolset-12-runtime package which has an install script that creates the following selinux rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if [ ! -f /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/etc/selinux-equiv.created ]; then
  /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -e / /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root
  restorecon -R /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root
  touch /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/etc/selinux-equiv.created
fi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe this fails because the context rule is created just before installing these files, and the rule has yet to be written to disk.  This can be avoided by simply installing gcc-toolset-12-runtime first, and then installing gcc-toolset-12-binutils in a separate command.

This is only reproduced when both packages are installed in the same yum command.




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-toolset-12-binutils-2.38-16.el8.x86_64

NOTE- This is also reproduced on all available version in RHEL8.




How reproducible:
Easily


Steps to Reproduce:
1.# yum remove gcc-toolset-12-runtime
1.# yum install gcc-toolset-12-binutils
2.# restorecon -Rvn /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/


Actual results:
]# restorecon -Rvn /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12

Expected results:
No relabelling required.




Additional info:
My opinion is to simply run restorecon on the offending directory within the postinstall script for package gcc-toolset-12-binutils.
Comment 1 Nick Clifton 2023-08-21 15:02:47 UTC 
Given that there is a workaround for the problem - I am of the opinion that it would be better to fix this for GTS-13/ RHEL 8.10 rather than applying for an exception+ for GTS-12/RHEL-8.9.
Comment 2 Nick Clifton 2023-09-11 13:28:00 UTC 
This should be fixed by gcc-toolset-13-binutils-2.40-15.el8.
Comment 4 Miloš Prchlík 2023-10-04 07:42:41 UTC 
Bumping ITM - I did bump it Jira, but the bug has not been migrated yet, therefore it was the wrong place to update...
Comment 8 Miloš Prchlík 2023-10-13 07:23:17 UTC 
Verified with gcc-toolset-13-binutils-2.40-15.el8:

:: [ 06:52:15 ] :: [  BEGIN   ] :: Running 'restorecon -Rvn /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-13/root'
:: [ 06:52:16 ] :: [   PASS   ] :: Command 'restorecon -Rvn /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-13/root' (Expected 0, got 0)
:: [ 06:52:16 ] :: [  BEGIN   ] :: Running 'grep 'Would relabel' /var/tmp/rlRun_LOG.5phDyowr'
:: [ 06:52:16 ] :: [   PASS   ] :: Command 'grep 'Would relabel' /var/tmp/rlRun_LOG.5phDyowr' (Expected 1, got 1)
