Description Peter Robinson 2016-12-05 05:08:32 UTC
The new selinux subpackage adds too many dependencies and hence pulls in a huge amount of extra packages that are not needed to apply a selinux policy. It pulls in dependencies that are python2 based and so we get a bunch of unneeded stuff.

Looking at the commit I don't think we should need any more than the first two lines (and probably only base) because the selinux-policy* packages will already pull in the appropriate dependencies to be able to apply selinux policies.

+Requires(post): selinux-policy-base >= %{selinux_policyver}
+Requires(post): selinux-policy-targeted >= %{selinux_policyver}
+Requires(post): policycoreutils, policycoreutils-python, libselinux-utils

There should be just "Requires(post): policycoreutils, libselinux-utils
Post script in firewalld does not use python bindings and policycoreutils should
install correct version of python bindings.

Comment 2 Thomas Woerner 2016-12-05 12:04:29 UTC
firewalld-selinux should require policycoreutils-python3 instead of policycoreutils-python for newer Fedora versions.

According to https://lvrabec-selinux.rhcloud.com/2015/07/07/how-to-create-selinux-product-policy/ it is needed to have the requires post for policycoreutils, policycoreutils-python and libselinux-utils.

I will change policycoreutils-python to policycoreutils-python3.

Could you explain why it is necessary to require policycoreutils-python*
Post scripts does not directly use python bindings.
It just uses semodule, load_policy from policycoreutils and  selinuxenabled from libselinux-utils.

I don't believe it should require anything more to apply the policies than is already required by the base polcies. Then if components wish to depend on any more functionality they should be able to do so whether it by py2, py3 or even something like golang or ruby binddings/utils etc to do so.

Comment 5 Lukas Vrabec 2016-12-06 15:50:56 UTC
Lukas, 
It looks like issue in my blog, that's true. I shoudl fix it.
Thanks.  

On the other hand, we know about this issue and firewalld-selinux will be reverted. 

Thomas, 
Please close this issue, after revert. 

Thanks.

Comment 6 Peter Robinson 2016-12-20 07:20:16 UTC
What is the status on getting this fixed? It's not a complex change yet been broken for a number of weeks already.

Comment 7 Lukas Slebodnik 2016-12-22 23:18:40 UTC
I think this BZ is fixed by firewalld-0.4.4.2-2.fc26.noarch.
Could you confirm and close BZ?

Please push updates to the affected stable releases and put this bug in the update rather than closing it on rawhide as it's not fixed everywhere.

Comment 15 Felix Schwarz 2017-01-07 21:30:33 UTC
Just wanted to mention that this push to stable was premature as it depends on a SELinux package which is still in updates-testing (https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-90bd4d7d33).
