Ever since a recent power failure I have been getting a Logrotate error. My
machine is on a UPS -- it shutdown cleanly, but I suspect that its BIOS/RTC
battery is dead, since the machine came up thinking it was 1982 :-(. I reset
the clock and everything is fine, *except* I had to delete Logrotate's state
files (which had bad dates). But now Logrotate is raising the error:
error: error creating unique temp file: Permission denied
and audit.log contains these messages:
type=AVC msg=audit(1541925899.209:28416): avc: denied { create } for pid=5281 comm="logrotate" name="logrotate_temp.bPbOYF" scontext=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 tclass=file

It is (obviously) a selinux problem, but I don't know what file or directory
needs to be fixed. How to I find that out?
I turned on verbose in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
/usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]"
fi
and am getting this (typical) message from logrotate daily:
