Why do I receive AVC denial as SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gpg from execute access on the file /usr/bin/gpg?

Issue

  • Facing below SELinux AVC Denial when repo_gpgcheck is enabled.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python3.9 from execute access on the file /usr/bin/gpg.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that python3.9 should be allowed execute access on the gpg file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'rhsmcertd-worke' --raw | audit2allow -M my-rhsmcertdworke
# semodule -X 300 -i my-rhsmcertdworke.pp
