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.

Still failing in %post sriptlet in compose RHEL6.0-20100209.1:

rpm -ivvvh -p xguest-1.0.8-3.el6.noarch.rpm

Moving back to ASSIGNED, I see this bug when testing @everything install using RHEL6.0-20100226.5 build (s390x arch) with xguest-1.0.8-3.el6.noarch.rpm and policycoreutils-python-2.0.78-11.el6.s390x.

install.log:
...

/usr/sbin/semanage: No such file or directory
error: %pre(xguest-1.0.8-3.el6.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

Manual installation in chroot also failed, see attachment.

This is what I get when running semanage manually:
sh-4.1# which semanage 
/usr/sbin/semanage
sh-4.1# semanage user -a -S targeted -P xguest -R xguest_r xguest_u
sh-4.1# semanage boolean -m -S targeted -F /dev/stdin
/usr/sbin/semanage: No such file or directory
Comment 13 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-02 14:15:25 UTC 
I am not sure why this is not working.

xguest(pre) requires polycoreutils-sandbox Which requires policycoreutils-python which includes semanage?

Bill do you have any idea?
Comment 14 Marian Ganisin 2010-03-02 14:54:26 UTC 
File /dev/stdin doesn't exist (in installation environment), this seems to be the cause:

# semanage boolean -m -S targeted -F /dev/stdin
/usr/sbin/semanage: No such file or directory
# touch dummy-file
# semanage boolean -m -S targeted -F dummy-file
# semanage boolean -m -S targeted -F fake-file
/usr/sbin/semanage: No such file or directory
# ls /dev/stdin fake-file dummy-file
ls: cannot access /dev/stdin: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access fake-file: No such file or directory
dummy-file
Comment 15 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-02 15:24:17 UTC 
Thanks, I was totally reading this wrong...

If I change this to /proc/self/0, will it work?  Does this file exist?
Comment 16 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-02 15:42:16 UTC 
I guess the bug might be, why doesn't /dev/stdin exist?
Comment 17 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-02 15:49:52 UTC 
Fixed in xguest-1.0.8-4.el6

Although this might be covering up a different bug.
Comment 18 Bill Nottingham 2010-03-02 18:02:48 UTC 
/dev/stdin is created by the start_udev wrapper script; udev is started without the wrapper by the installer.
Comment 23 Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-03-10 13:44:06 UTC 
This still fails in xguest-1.0.8-4.rhel6 (dependecy missed?):

Complete!
Comment 24 Miroslav Vadkerti 2010-03-10 13:46:39 UTC 
semanage is a part of policycoreutils-python
Comment 25 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-10 15:08:27 UTC 
semanage is putting out a bogus error message that leads you to think the semanage package is not installed.

It is complaining about /proc/self/0  Which should have been /proc/self/fd/0
