Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1637 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE policycoreutils bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:50:40 UTC

Description Milos Malik 2011-03-25 09:59:51 UTC
Facts:
1. /etc/sysconfig/sandbox file is part of policycoreutils package.
2. /usr/share/man/man5/sandbox.conf.5.gz is part of policycoreutils-sandbox package.

Assumption:
Because sandbox option -C does not expect an argument and there is no other option which expects an alternative configuration file, I believe that sandbox.conf.5.gz is meant to describe /etc/sysconfig/sandbox file.

Description of problem:
1. Either the name of the man page is misleading (extra .conf) or the name of the config file is misleading (missing .conf).
2. The config file and its man page should be present in the same package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.7.el6_0
policycoreutils-debuginfo-2.0.83-19.7.el6_0
policycoreutils-gui-2.0.83-19.7.el6_0
policycoreutils-newrole-2.0.83-19.7.el6_0
policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.7.el6_0
policycoreutils-sandbox-2.0.83-19.7.el6_0

How reproducible:
always

Actual results:
(described above)

Expected results:
1) the name of the man page is in sync with the name of the configuration file
2) the configuration file and its man page are part of the same package.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-26 15:00:41 UTC
Changed man page to be sabndbox.5.gz and moved it into the main package.

Fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.2.el6
