This is very strange, I have no idea why SELinux update would do this,
and suspect that something else might have gone wrong. Were there other
packages in the update?
I will update my F10 and see what is going on.
Could be someone is doing a chcon -t usr_t in a post install script?
selinux-policy should only be doing the equivalent of a restorecon -vR
in its post install. Actually executes fixfiles
"fixfiles -C ${FILE_CONTEXT}.pre restore"
Which figures out what was different between the old file context and
the new and runs restorecon on them.
