Yes, I can see that 😄 |
Commit f7142bf placed the test into the --delsign test group which is a very specific thing, and doesn't actually need rpm to be built with IMA to work. Attempting to sign always does.
"file" is not a very meaningful keyword here, "ima" lets us test just these when we need to.

Seems the result depends on the kind of container we have: in my local rootless container setting the IMA fails, but in the GH runner matryoshka we're actually root on the VM, the container is privileged and you apparanly can set IMA from inside. Lets see... |

This lets installations succeed even if the ima plugin happens to be installed in a rootless container, where IMA isn't supported. We can't specifically test for rootless container, but I don't know what other situation would result in EPERM for root when setting IMA so it seems like a reasonable heuristic for this. Testing this is a bit tricky: we expect the install to succeed in all cases, but whether IMA actually gets set depends on the container. Fixes: rpm-software-management#3234

This lets installations succeed even if the ima plugin happens to be installed in a container, where IMA isn't supported. We don't know it failure was because of a container so this is far from ideal, but failing an install just because some package dragged in the ima plugin as a dependency is worse.
Counter-intuitively, the test verifies that the IMA xattr didn't get installed because that's the expected result, when inside a container.
Fixes: #3234
The first commits are tweaks to a couple of small issues I ran into when looking at this.
