Description of problem: Several files under /usr/share/texmf owned by tetex are being installed with incorrect selinux context (probably result of running texhash in %post). tetex should restorecon -R /usr/share/texmf in %post to fix this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tetex-3.0-33.2.el5_1.2 / RHEL5.2 GA How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL5.2, tetex included, selinux enabled 2. # setfiles -vqn /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts \ /usr/share/texmf|grep relabeling
restorecon -R /usr/share/texmf in %post of tetex will not affect anaconda installations, since policycoreutils (that restorecon is part of) is usually installed after all tetex* packages. David, would it be possible to fix the context of files under /usr/share/texmf in anaconda using setFileCons() ?
Yes, we can add it to the static list in anaconda that restorecon runs for.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".
Putting all the possible files that could be modified by a package's %post script into a list in anaconda is not maintainable. Instead, the tetex spec file should Requires(post): policycoreutils to make sure that package is installed early enough. policycoreutils is going to get installed regardless, so not having a Requires doesn't help in any way.

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously, an error could have occurred and was logged when installing teTeX. This happened because several files installed in the /usr/share/texmf/ directory used an incorrect SELinux context. With this update, the files use the correct SELinux context and installation finishes without errors.
