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.
