Description of problem: rpm cannot install systemd source RPM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.19.94-1.fc41.aarch64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 39 KDE aarch64 2. Upgrade to f40 3. Upgrade to f41 4. dnf download --source systemd 5. rpm -i systemd-256.6-1.fc41.src.rpm Actual results: ` : 13:10:22 armf41 ~/rpmbuild.d/systemd/SPECS : [1] barry $ rpm -i ~/systemd-256.6-1.fc41.src.rpm error: ima: could not apply signature on '/home/barry/rpmbuild.d/systemd/SOURCES/.abignore;67012ce2': Operation not permitted error: Plugin ima: hook fsm_file_prepare failed error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home/barry/rpmbuild.d/systemd/SOURCES/.abignore;67012ce2: cpio: (error 0x2) error: /home/barry/systemd-256.6-1.fc41.src.rpm cannot be installed ` Expected results: rpm -i installs the RPM. Additional info: Why do I install f39 kde? Becuase there are not f40 or f41 ISOs built. Did I install rpm-plugin-ima? Not explicitly.
