Comment 1 Martin Ellison 2009-08-05 07:46:25 UTC
Synce works if I do  sudo setenforce 0

Comment 2 Milos Jakubicek 2009-09-04 23:18:48 UTC
This package is dead.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2009-09-05 17:07:21 UTC
What? synce is not dead, it is still an active and useful project, and Andreas still maintains it. Please don't close bugs like this.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2009-09-05 17:08:24 UTC
martin: I logged two synce denial bugs in rawhide:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=515800

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514768

you're probably seeing one of those, right? the fixes need to be backported to 11, I guess.

Martin, try downgrading to the odccm package till the synce-hal-selinux thing gets sorted out.

Comment 6 Milos Jakubicek 2009-09-05 23:39:59 UTC
Well, our "synce" package is dead for 22 months, so this bug is most probably assigned to wrong component. Please find out what the proper component is (e.g. by "rpm -qf <name-of-the-binary-you-run>") and change the component.

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 09:34:14 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'.

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 11'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 11 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 8 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 13:59:51 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 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.
