Description Daniel Novotny 2010-04-20 11:57:40 UTC
Description of problem:

mailman-update-cfg script is used to compile the configuration file in the unconfined_t context (running mailman in mailman_t cannot do this)

because of Merge Review changes due to Fedora guidelines, hardcoded library path was changed to %{_libdir}. But this change makes using mailman scripts clumsy, so it was reverted - however, mailman-update-cfg still uses %{_libdir}


a solution from Nils Philippsen:

Apparently the _libdir thing hasn't been reverted completely. Please apply the
following where applicable (I found it being a problem on F-13, but it should
be an issue from F-12 on when built on 64bit):

Comment 1 Daniel Novotny 2010-04-20 12:18:17 UTC
fixed in rawhide: mailman-2.1.13-2.fc14
will fix in other branches, too

Comment 2 Daniel Novotny 2010-04-20 12:57:37 UTC
F11 is not affected, because the libdir change did not happen there and mailman-update-cfg uses correct hardcoded path

F12 is not affected, because the libdir change revertion did not happen there (it was probably F12 freeze at the time I did it) so %{_libdir} is in effect both in the spec and in mailman-update-cfg

F13 fix will follow
