SlimServer fails to run on Fedora Core 5 machine with SELinux enabled
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:38:25 UTC
I'm getting the following error in /var/log/messages while trying to start any version of SlimServer on Fedora Core 5: Apr 12 09:44:17 harmony kernel: audit(1144849457.775:78): avc: denied { execmod } for pid=13313 comm="slimserver.pl" name="Expat.so" dev=hda2 ino=622232 scontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 tclass=file I don't know enough about SELinux to suggest a resolution, although I'm looking into it as best as possible. Disabling SELinux is a relatively undesirable solution -- are there any other known workarounds?
Any idea here, Dan. Looks like it's complaining about something in expat.
i think there's a little more going on here... the rpm just seems to be pretty broken on fc5 in general. for instance, you can't even install without manually creating the folder /usr/local/slimserver. just with the default installation of fc5, you get something that looks like this: groupadd: group slimserver exists <-- because I'd already tried to install useradd: cannot create directory /usr/local/slimserver <-- the problem error: %pre(slimserver-2006_04_24-1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 12 error: install %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping slimserver-2006_04_24-1
This has been fixed in the 6.3 and 6.5 nightlies.
This bug fix is now part of a released version, and so has been marked closed. If you are still experiencing this problem, please reopen the bug.
