The -sources package was only for Fedora <= 4 and RHEL4; Fedora >= 5 and
RHEL5 have loadable policy modules - no need to install or build the
full policy sources anymore.

You can compile that local.te file manually with checkmodule, package it
with semodule_package, and install it with semodule, but the easier way
to do things is:
# audit2allow -M local < /var/log/audit/audit.log (or /var/log/messages
or wherever that avc message appears)
# semodule -i local.pp
