<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Yes, I can go get an update
from koji, or get the source and do it myself, or simply apply the
"fix" suggested by audit2allow, or set permissive mode, or disable
selinux. Any of these would get around the problem. But, this would not
be the "official" selinux-policy package update.</p>

package's ability to function properly. The abrt package is a really
good new feature in Fedora 12 and should help resolve problems more
quickly since it provides a lot more information than many users
include in the handcrafted reports (myself included).</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">The problem was reported on
6 November 2009 at 13:33 EDT and Dan Walsh responded on 6 November 2008
at 14:38 EDT (a bit over an hour) that the problem was fixed in <a

and the BZ report was closed as fixed in rawhide (perhaps closing this
problem so quickly was an error).</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"><span
style="font-family: 'Courier New,courier';">Today is 17 November 2009
and Fedora 12 is GA but there is no "day zero" fix for the problem ...
not even in updates-testing (last I checked around 1400 EST). I claim
that something in the process of getting fixes out (at least
selinux-policy fixes) is broken. This is what I am trying to get fixed
so users do not set permissive mode or simply disable selinux.</span></p>

We were change frozen, as F12 was about to get released. Further,<br>
F12 was beta until today, so you have no reason to complain, as it is
not supported, and last not least, the mirrors are currently syncing
loads of stuff, which will add a delay.<br>
<br>
Can this list now get back to selinux as a topic ? Fedora infra and
releng issues are really off-topic here.<br>
<br>
