Running yesterday's rawhide, targeted/permissive. Installing today's rawhide updates using the pup system tray icon (e.g., selecting 'Apply updates' from the icon): [root@localhost ~]# audit2allow -i log allow bootloader_t xdm_t:fifo_file { getattr write }; allow depmod_t xdm_t:fifo_file write; allow lvm_t xdm_t:fifo_file write; [root@localhost ~]# Appears to be a problem (missing transition?) when installing kernel packages. In today's updates, I updated kernel, kernel-PAE and kernel-xen packages and got the following. I tried to associate the AVC's with the packages (not 100% sure on the associations): kernel: type=AVC msg=audit(1160573358.763:32): avc: denied { write } for pid=3714 comm="depmod" name="[12557]"
