Description Gene Snider 2011-04-30 20:20:19 UTC
Description of problem:
Today's update included policycoreutils.  Here's the yum update list:

    Updated policycoreutils-2.0.85-28.fc14.x86_64
    Update                  2.0.86-7.fc15.x86_64
    Updated policycoreutils-gui-2.0.85-28.fc14.x86_64
    Update                      2.0.86-7.fc15.x86_64
    Updated policycoreutils-python-2.0.85-28.fc14.x86_64
    Update                         2.0.86-7.fc15.x86_64

Notice that policycoreutils-restorecond is NOT in the list.  That package was split out sometime between the last update I saw in F14 and today's update.  I had to manually install policycoreutils-restorecond after the update to be able to start the service.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0.86-7.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
I'm not sure.  I see that somehow I missed some F14 updates to this package.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update from F14 to F15
2. update policycoreutils in F15
3.
  
Actual results:
policycoreutils-restorecond isn't installed

Expected results:
it should be installed

Can this be fixed? Can we make something depend on policycoreutils-restorecond? The lack of restorecond has been crashing Chrome in some situations. See bug #710276. And:

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-06-06 17:17:18 UTC
I think we want to add policycoreutils-restorecond to the desktop comps package.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-06-06 17:17:44 UTC
Bill do you agree?

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2011-06-06 18:41:37 UTC
We could, but we'd also want both policycoreutils & policycoreutils-restorecond obsolete the last version before they were split.

I thought the idea was that restorecond wasn't going to be needed any more?

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-06-06 19:23:45 UTC
We now run restorecond as a user service started via dbus to watch the users homedirs.  It is needed by F15 might not be needed when we move to new model in F16.  We do not require restorecond the init service to be run any longer.

I will also make the obsoletes change to the spec file.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2012-07-27 13:22:32 UTC
Since this version of Fedora is no longer supported I am closing this bugs.  If you are still seeing this bug in a current version of fedora, please reopen the bugzilla with the appropriate version number.
