> Failed to restore SELinux context of installed files...

That bit is printed by meson itself, see the source file mesonbuild/scripts/meson_install.py

But there's something rather weird:

> restore-selinux-context.sh /usr/lib64 /home/psdrv/Downloads/libinput/builddir/libinput.so.10.13.0'
> Restoring SELinux context on /usr/lib64/libinput.so.10.13.0
> No such file or directory

Invocation is correct, the echo from the script is correct but it says "no such file or directory", even though above it says:

> Installing libinput.so.10.13.0 to /usr/lib64/libinput.so.10.13.0

Don't know what exactly is going on her but they both seem to be the same issue - even though the file is installed to that location, restorecon fails to find it. I don't know why that could be, tbh, but this seems to be the bit worthy of investigation.

Thanks for the analysis.

When I added "exit 0" to the end of restore-selinux-context.sh file, it can
fool the building system to
continue the installation process without further complaining.

please trim your emails when replying via email. otherwise you're dumping all email content into the bugzilla comments and creating random attachments.

Replace the shebang in the script with #!/bin/sh -x and run it again, what's the output then? What does restorecon /usr/lib64/libinput.so.10.13.0 say when run manually (after install)?

Sorry about that.

Adding "-x" after "#!/bin/bash" gives me nothing more in the output, instead, I add "set -x" to restore-selinux.sh. The relevant output is below:

It reports "No such file or directory", but /usr/lib64/libinput.so.10.13.0 exits in my system.

$ ll /usr/lib64/libinput.so.10.13.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 752K Apr  8 20:17 /usr/lib64/libinput.so.10.13.0


It's also strange when I manually run the restore-selinux script, it doesn't enter the "if" statement, however, the above output shows that statements inside "if" are executed.

ok, there's something wrong with restorecon on your system. not sure what exactly it is, but it ls shows the file but both meson and this script fail to restore it (independently), the issue with outside our influence, sorry.

If it ends up being a libinput bug please re-open but if restorecon doesn't find a file that's clearly there, something else is the matter.

I see. Thank you for the help!
