That happens at least on systems upgraded to FC2 from earlier versions (vs
fresh install) because "policy" package doesn't get installed. Fix
by installing the policy package, additionally you'll probably want to
disable SELinux by putting SELINUX=disabled to /etc/sysconfig/selinux.
I dunno what's the intended behavior, the error is easy enough to get rid
of but then I could imagine that on system where SELinux is enabled on
purpose you'd want to know if the file_contexts file suddenly has gone
missing. Anyway, this silences the error for the better or worse and
additionally removes the hardcoding of file_contexts path (which still is
present in rpm-head btw):
