Ah, it is likely failing on the rpm_execcon(3) -> security_compute_create(3) call i.e. writing to /selinux/create. Which computes the context in which to run the scriptlet or helper from the policy. If that returns the same as rpm's own context, then we fall back to rpm_script_t. So this affects things like ldconfig. I increasingly suspect we're better off not mounting selinuxfs within the chroot at all and addressing any issues that arise via policy. > warning: libgcc-4.3.0-8: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 > Installing: libgcc ##################### [ 1/129] > error: %post(libgcc-4.3.0-8.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 > Installing: setup ##################### [ 2/129] > Installing: filesystem ##################### [ 3/129] > Installing: basesystem ##################### [ 4/129] > Installing: ncurses-base ##################### [ 5/129] > Installing: tzdata ##################### [ 6/129] > Installing: rootfiles ##################### [ 7/129] > Installing: glibc ##################### [ 8/129] > error: %post(glibc-2.8-3.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 > Installing: ncurses-libs ##################### [ 9/129] > error: %post(ncurses-libs-5.6-16.20080301.fc9.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 > Installing: popt ##################### [ 10/129] > error: %post(popt-1.13-3.fc9.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 > Installing: zlib ##################### [ 11/129] > error: %post(zlib-1.2.3-18.fc9.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
