This morning I used yum to install the latest packages from the updates-testing repository for F8. Some SELinux denials meant that problems were reported with a lot of these updates e.g. Updating : libxml2 ##################### [ 1/145] error: %post(libxml2-2.6.32-1.fc8.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 Updating : gtk2 ##################### [ 2/145] error: %post(gtk2-2.12.8-2.fc8.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 Updating : libxslt ##################### [ 3/145] error: %post(libxslt-1.1.23-1.fc8.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 Updating : evolution-data-server ##################### [ 4/145] error: %post(evolution-data-server-1.12.3-5.fc8.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 and here are excerpts of the sealert messages: Summary: SELinux is preventing yum (mono_t) "transition" to /sbin/ldconfig (rpm_script_t).
