Hi,

That sounds like the issue which blocked Tumbleweed (including the Arm flavor 
for few days, see [0].
But that should be fixed now. At least 20260126 was green again in openQA for 
this issue.

Cheers,
Guillaume

I tried "newaliases" to create a new /etc/aliases.lmdb, but that did not help.

In the end I tried setting the proper selinux parameters on /etc/aliases.lmdb 
and found the following commands to be successful:


semanage fcontext -m -t etc_aliases_t /etc/aliases.lmdb

restorecon /etc/aliases.lmdb
