Todd,

	Thank you for removing the scales from my blind eyes. Now here's  
what I tried to remove it.


[awd at Iorek ~]$ sudo yum remove selinux-policy-strict-1.27.1-2.27

Other than that curious selinux error message, things look like they  
worked. (BTW, selinux is disabled on this system [SELINUX=disabled  
in /etc/selinux/config].)


But it didn't work.

[awd at Iorek ~]$ sudo rpm -qa |grep selinux
selinux-policy-strict-1.27.1-2.27
libselinux-python-1.30.29-2
selinux-policy-2.4.6-1.fc6
libselinux-1.30.29-2
libselinux-devel-1.30.29-2
libselinux-1.30.29-2
selinux-policy-strict-2.4.6-1.fc6
selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-1.fc6


After rebuilding the rpm database, the order selinux packages listed  
changed.

[awd at Iorek ~]$ sudo rpm --rebuilddb
[awd at Iorek ~]$ sudo rpm -qa |grep selinux
libselinux-devel-1.30.29-2
selinux-policy-strict-2.4.6-1.fc6
selinux-policy-strict-1.27.1-2.27
libselinux-python-1.30.29-2
selinux-policy-2.4.6-1.fc6
libselinux-1.30.29-2
selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-1.fc6
libselinux-1.30.29-2


And it could not be removed via rpm either.


[awd at Iorek ~]$ sudo rpm -e selinux-policy-strict-1.27.1-2.27
libsemanage.semanage_direct_remove: Module bootloader was not found.
semodule:  Failed on bootloader!
error: %trigger(selinux-policy-strict-2.4.6-1.fc6.noarch) scriptlet  
failed, exit status 1



Once again, thank you for helping.

Andrew
