Oracle Linux 8 RPM installation broken

Byetzion

I got the following error message when attempting to upgrade RPM packages:

error: lsetfilecon: (-1 9f2db5eaa0dd9d1fed09bafdd4c59940c9715c;65cf0896, system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0) No such file or directory
error: Plugin selinux: hook fsm_file_prepare failed

Oracle Linux 8 introduced a bug with a package called rpm-plugin-selinux (details: rpm-plugin-selinux-4.14.3-28.0.1.el8_9) which prevents RPM packages from being installed correctly, either by dnf/yum or manually.

The solution, as shown in this Oracle community forum is to downgrade the package rpm-plugin-selinux like that:

rpm -e --nodeps rpm-plugin-selinux
dnf downgrade rpm
dnf install rpm-plugin-selinux-4.14.3-26.0.1.el8.x86_64

Following this action, a regular dnf update can take place without affecting the system any further.

I was surprised at how easy it was. You need to do the following: 1. Find your mouse’s address using ‘hcitool scan‘ 2. Verify that you can pair the two devices using ‘sudo hidd –connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX‘ 3. Edit /etc/default/bluetooth, uncomment the additional line with the HIDD_OPTIONS and set it to be “–connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX –server” 4….
