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:
This bug is actually about fedora support for the xpi.
The technical issue is that in F14+ we install spicec to /usr/bin via spicec,
in RHEL 6 we currently install spicec into /usr/libexec so as to discourage users from accessing it directly, since it isn't supported. we wanted them to use spice-xpi instead. If we want to have the xpi available for fedora it makes sense to check for spicec in both locations. It isn't a security risk since they are both root writable directories (anybody that can write to /usr/bin could have written to /usr/libexec, Q.E.D).
Note that this also helps with RHEL 6.1 since there currently we are using spice-client package from fedora, which as mentioned installs spicec to /usr/bin, thus breaking current spice-xpi.
