Description Nikolaos Perrakis 2020-04-10 09:52:44 UTC

Description of problem:

My laptop is running Fedora MATE 31.
After performing today’s (09:10 London time) dnf upgrade I got error messages like the one below:

Upgrading        : grub2-common-1:2.02-107.fc31.noarch  1/86 
error: lsetfilecon: (/boot/efi/EFI/fedora, system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0) Operation not supported

At the end I did get:

Verifying        : grub2-common-1:2.02-107.fc31.noarch 9/86

Note that similar errors also appeared for the packages below:
