RHBA-2009:1080 - setroubleshoot bug fix update


Synopsis

setroubleshoot bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated setroubleshoot packages that resolve an issue are now available.

Description

The setroubleshoot packages provide tools to help diagnose SELinux problems. When AVC messages occur, an alert is generated that gives information about the problem, and how to create a resolution.

These updated setroubleshoot packages fix the following bug:

  • shutting down the system caused setroubleshoot to report that the connection had failed. This was caused by an inoptimal ordering in the system shutdown scripts wherein the D-Bus system message bus was shut down before setroubleshoot, which resulted in connection failure messages. The relative order in which setroubleshoot and D-Bus are shut down has been switched, and setroubleshoot no longer reports failure at shutdown time. (BZ#449228)

All users of setroubleshoot are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
