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'm running script which causes SELINUX_ERR failure, but it is not reported in ~50% of cases.
After some debugging, when I have added `sleep 3m` to the beginning of the script, I have found out, that when the script is started, there is:
* running "readahead-collector"
* not running "auditd"
and 3 minutes later:
* not running "readahead-collector"
* running "auditd"
When script is started after these 3 minutes, SELINUX_ERR nicely appears in /var/log/audit/audit.log.
I have discussed it with Miroslav Trmac, and he said, that in the boot-time, readahead-collector replaces auditd and that readahead-collector might just drop messages he is not interested in.
If this is exact, should readahead-collector be fixed, or should I keep mentioned workaround in my script (as I want that SELINUX_ERR to be reported)?

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated

You should just deinstall readahead.
