Description of problem: There's a line in /etc/selinux/restorecond.conf that says: /root/* which for ages has DTRT (labelled files under /root). During today's yum update, it started spewing zillions of messages of the form: Warning! /root/../lib/terminfo/v/vt100-am refers to a hard link, not fixing hard links. Warning! /root/../lib/terminfo/v/vt100 refers to a hard link, not fixing hard links. Warning! /root/../lib/terminfo/v/vt200 refers to a hard link, not fixing hard links. Warning! /root/../lib/terminfo/v/vt220 refers to a hard link, not fixing hard links. ... Warning! /root/../home/valdis/src/cdrtools-2.0/INSTALL refers to a hard link, not fixing hard links.

Warning! /root/../sbin/tune2fs refers to a hard link, not fixing hard links. For some reason, it decided to follow /root/.. and walk the entire file system. Blargh. Probably something in: * Wed Aug 19 2009 Dan Walsh <dwalsh> 2.0.71-6 - Redesign restorecond to use setfiles/restore functionality (upgrading to 20.0.71-3 yesterday worked fine - today during the 'cleanup' phase the postinstall scriptlet triggered and all heck broke loose). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-2.0.71-6.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.71-7.fc12.x86_64
Wow, that was quick service, thanks. ;)
BTW I would run a fixfiles restore
