Problem after installing selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.1-2.1.noarch.rpm
I ran up2date to get selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.1-2.1.noarch.rpm.
up2date hung for a very long time at the end of the installation, so
finally, I killed it. At that point, I had two versions of
selinux-policy-targeted installed. Verifying each showed that all the
files were correct for the new version. But just to be safe (oops), I
deleted both and tried to reinstall
selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.1-2.1.noarch.rpm.
Running up2date now produces:
# up2date
Could not set exec context to root:sysadm_r:rpm_t.
and fails to run. After setenforce 0, I still get the message and up2date
runs.
Forcing a reinstall of selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.1-2.1.noarch.rpm has
no effect. Rebooting has no effect. Relabeling on reboot has no effect.
(Actually, after relabeling, rpm --verify produces
# rpm --verify selinux-policy-targeted
S.5....T. /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs
)
So far, other things appear to work normally, but up2date does not work.
How can I fix this?
Thanks.
