Package: darcs Version: 1.0.9~rc1-0.1+b3 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Trying to run darcs on a SELinux enabled system with the targeted policy enabled
and enforced fails.
$ darcs w -l
darcs: internal error: getMBlock: mmap: Permission denied
(GHC version 6.6.1 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Aborted
It seems this is an issue originating in GHC which generates code that needs
execmem.
OTOH, darcs could provide a policy to allow execmem on linux systems.
