Advisory: RHBA-2009:1080-2
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2009-06-03

OVAL: N/A

Details

Updated setroubleshoot packages that resolve an issue are now available.

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.
