QA discovered that this perl syntax actually creates another file and deletes the original file. This means that even if no change happens, the file has a different timestamp and selinux security context. Impact: Not much, but it should be fixed some time in the future. Fix: This probably involves testing before doing the modification in order to avoid an unnecessary replacement. In the replacement case chcon is needed in order to maintain the correct selinux context. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
