Done this.

Yes (cf. below).

No, the cause of the t/web/install.t failure this time isn't SELinux. 

/var/lib/rt (aka. RT_VAR_PATH) is entirely missing. Manually creating
/var/lib/rt fixes the testsuite failure.

Seems to me, as if rt's configure script misses to create it. AFAIS, this also
applies to 4.0.x, but 4.2.x seems to be more frequently use RT_VAR_PATH than
4.0.x did. ATM, I am not 100% sure if 4.0.x is actually using /var/lib/rt at
all ;)

Open question: Which owner:group and permissions to use for /var/lib/rt?
>From what I can gather from the source code, 4.2.x seem to be wanting to use
RT_USER:RT_GROUP (i.e. apache:apache), but doesn't seem to have special
requirements on permissions. May /var/lib/rt contain sensitive (e.g.
user-submitted personal data) or security-relevant (e.g. passwords)
information?
