Description Marc Schiffbauer gentoo-dev 2024-01-20 01:21:32 UTC 
While upgrading cronie portage failed because it had no access to keep-files that are unlabeled by default (unlabeled_t).

This workaround fixed it for me:

 # semanage fcontext -Cl
SELinux fcontext                                   type               Context

/var/spool/cron/\.keep_acct-user_cron-0            regular file       system_u:object_r:cron_spool_t
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/\.keep_sys-process_cronie-0 regular file       system_u:object_r:cron_spool_t
/var/spool/cron/lastrun/\.keep_sys-process_cronbase-0 regular file       system_u:object_r:cron_spool_t
