SELinux thing? This is just a guess but I would imagine execution of programs outside the build environment is disallowed by permissions. If the path variable in the build environment for some reason has a component that points outside the build environment then you could be in a position where programs that have been Required are in an early part of the path and therefore just work but when the shell tries to access a program that doesn't exist it checks each component in the path until it reaches a component in the path variable that the build environment doesn't have permissions for and it bails out with permission denied. Only a guess though. I am sure somebody with more knowledge of the build system could confirm or provide a more correct answer. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
