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 Michal Trunecka 2013-06-06 13:24:45 UTC 
Description of problem:

By default, following simulated SCL man page directory has man_t type:

# matchpathcon /opt/rh/collection-xyz/root/usr/local/share/man/man9
/opt/rh/collection-xyz/root/usr/local/share/man/man9	system_u:object_r:man_t:s0

With the file context equivalency, it has usr_t despite the fact that dir in original path has mnt_t

# semanage fcontext -l | grep "/opt/rh/collection-xyz/root = /"'
# matchpathcon /usr/local/share/man/man9
/usr/local/share/man/man9x	system_u:object_r:man_t:s0
# matchpathcon /opt/rh/collection-xyz/root/usr/local/share/man/man9x
/opt/rh/collection-xyz/root/usr/local/share/man/man9x	system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.12.1-48.el7.noarch


Additional information: 
Here is the list of files with inconsistent contexts after installation "filesystem" and "setup" rpms into simulated SCL directory in /opt:

We have to make the libselinux matching functions recursive  At least apply the local ones first then apply the distro ones second.
