I'm not sure how this is a yum bug. It sounds more like a policy issue. This probably long since fixed. certainly not seen by me. |
Description of problem: While upgrading yum to yum-2.0.5.20040310-1 (from previous build), I got this error: [root@tornado RPMS]# rpm -Fvh stunnel* tk* yum* yelp* patchutils* error: failed to stat /var/lib/rpc_pipes: Permission denied Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:tk ########################################### [ 20%] 2:stunnel ########################################### [ 40%] 3:yum ########################################### [ 60%] env: /etc/init.d/yum: Permission denied 4:yelp ########################################### [ 80%] 5:patchutils ########################################### [100%] dmesg shows: avc: denied { transition } for pid=3481 exe=/bin/env path=/etc/rc.d/init.d/yum dev=hdb1 ino=344128 scontext=root:sysadm_r:rpm_script_t tcontext=root:system_r:initrc_t tclass=process and audit2allow says: allow rpm_script_t initrc_t:process { transition }; Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.0.5.20040310-1 policy-1.8-11 (I had added 'role sysadm_r types ldconfig_t;' to /etc/security/selinux/src/policy/domains/program/ldconfig.te and reloaded policy in order to get package upgrading to work this well.) How reproducible: Not sure.
