Should I remove it, then reinstall with yum? Or am I way off base? Anything you installed using yumex whilst the SELinux policy package was earlier than selinux-policy-2.2.43-4.fc5 may have been installed incorrectly, if SELinux was in enforcing mode at the time. If you noticed lots of scriptlet issues whilst running yumex, you are affected. I don't know how serious the problem is because I don't know which scriptlets will have failed to run, and what the consequence of not running those scriptlets will have been. Possible symptoms will include duplicate packages in the rpm database, server packages installed without the appropriate UID being set up and hence having files installed as root instead of the required UID. If you think that you are having issues like this, I would seriously consider reinstalling.
