Local Packages

I had a problem running repoview on Fedora 7:

ImportError: No module named elementtree.SimpleXMLWriter

This is Bug #232590. The quick workaround was to build and install the python-elementtree package from Fedora CVS, though it'll be removed courtesy of an obsolete as soon as a python update comes around. Hopefully there will be an update to repoview before then.

The recent pam update to version/release 0.99.7.1-5.1.fc7 caused failed dovecot logins due to SELinux denials:

type=AVC msg=audit(1182087900.637:32303): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=25443 comm="dovecot-auth" name="unix_update" dev=dm-0 ino=384037 scontext=user_u:system_r:dovecot_auth_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:updpwd_exec_t:s0 tclass=file

This was easily fixed in a local policy module and will apparently be fixed in selinux-policy 2.6.4-17 (Bug #244534).
