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.

Description of problem:
I see these wrong SELinux labels on files on clean RHEL6 installation:

When I asked Dan W. what was the problem I get reply:
"Please open a bug in Anaconda on this.  They do not set the autorelabel
flag nor should they.  We need to add this directory to the list of
directories anaconda runs restorecon on when it completes."
Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-19 12:41:32 UTC 
This file must be being created early in the install process.  Including /var/cache/yum.  Not sure why they get the correct label, or this file is created in / and then mv'd to this directory.

Anaconda should run restorecon on this file after it is mv'd/created in this directory.
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2010-05-20 15:38:13 UTC 
The real question here is why /var/cache/yum even exists post-install.  We should be cleaning that up before rebooting.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-24 19:26:25 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 6 Alexander Todorov 2010-05-31 11:18:11 UTC 
With snap #6 (0527.2)/anaconda 13.21.48 after install /var/cache/yum is empty.
/var/cache/yum has the context system_u:object_r:rpm_var_cache_t:s0

Moving to VERIFIED.
Comment 7 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-07-02 20:49:45 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
