Bug description:
[Impact]
The impact is fairly low because the problem can be mitigated by copying or
linking a default cpe dictionary into place after installing. This prevents the
error:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/scap-security-guide/ssg-ubuntu1604-cpe-
dictionary.xml /usr/share/openscap/cpe/openscap-cpe-dict.xml
However, it would be better if it just worked correctly without requiring any
manual steps after installation.
[Test Case]
The original description provides good instructions for reproducing under
bionic:
$ sudo apt install libopenscap8 ssg-debderived
$ oscap info /usr/share/scap-security-guide/ssg-ubuntu1604-ds.xml
<snip>
OpenSCAP Error: Unable to open file:
'/usr/share/openscap/cpe/openscap-cpe-dict.xml'
[../../../src/source/oscap_source.c:284]
Failed to add default CPE to newly created CPE Session.
[../../../src/CPE/cpe_session.c:58]
<snip>
[Regression Potential]
The likelyhood of a regression seems very low since this change provides a
default cpe dictionary with the installation instead of requiring that one be
manually copied into place after installation. In the event that this default
cpe dictionary does somehow causes a regression, it could be mitigated by
explicitly specifying a cpe dictionary rather than relying on the default or
copying a new file over the default (which is basically what has to be done now
to make the current oscap work correctly).
