Why the rpm installation fails with the error "error selabel_open (/etc/selinux/disabled/contexts/files/file_contexts) no such file or directory"

Issue

• When you try to install any package/rpm, it fails and below error occurs:

[root@test]$ rpm -ivh tree-1.1.0-15.el8.x86_64

error: selabel_open: (/etc/selinux/disabled/contexts/files/file_contexts) no such file or directory
error: Plugin selinux: hook tsm_pre failed

• However, when the SELinux is set to Disabled mode, the packages gets installed properly.
