Description Ralf Corsepius 2008-01-14 07:23:43 UTC
Description of problem:
setroubleshoot occasionally reports "count 0" sealerts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" 'setr*' 'selinu*'
selinux-policy-devel-3.0.8-74.fc8.noarch
setroubleshoot-plugins-1.10.4-1.fc8.noarch
selinux-policy-3.0.8-74.fc8.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-74.fc8.noarch
setroubleshoot-server-1.10.7-1.fc8.noarch
setroubleshoot-1.10.7-1.fc8.noarch

How reproducible:
No idea. I can't deterministically reproduce these. They only seem to occur next
to reboots/first X11-logins.
  
Actual results:
cf. attachment.

Additional info:
This an i386/F8 system, acting as server for several services in my
home/office-network.

Thank you for reporting this Ralf.

I think this can only happen if there was a prior error or exeception.

Would you please check after this manifests itself if there are any error or
tracebacks in /var/log/setroubleshoot/setroubleshootd.log? If there are would
you please attach that file. Thanks!

Comment 4 Ralf Corsepius 2008-01-14 15:26:33 UTC
Hmm, current /var/log/setroubleshoot/setroubleshootd.log contains this:

# cat /var/log/setroubleshoot/setroubleshootd.log
2008-01-14 05:56:36,199 [email.WARNING] cannot open file
/var/lib/setroubleshoot/email_alert_recipients, No such file or directory

There also is a backup from yesterday:
# cat /var/log/setroubleshoot/setroubleshootd.log-20080113 
2008-01-08 13:26:50,919 [email.WARNING] cannot open file
/var/lib/setroubleshoot/email_alert_recipients, No such file or directory

Doesn't seem to me as if these are related to the "count 0" sealerts :-)


However, from /var/log/messages, I gather I had updated the selinux-policy
packages to *-74 ca. 5 minutes before the times the sealerts refer to.

I am attaching an excerpt (manually trimmed down) of /var/log/messages from next
to the times the sealert messages are referring to.


Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 09:25:44 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 6 Ralf Corsepius 2008-11-26 09:42:19 UTC
The "count 0" phenomenon is still present in FC10.

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2009-02-11 14:50:18 UTC
Ralf could you execute

# service setroubleshootd stop
# rm -rf /var/lib/setroubleshoot
# yum reinstall setroubleshoot\*
# service setroubleshootd start

To see if this is just caused by a bad database

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:02:49 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
