Hi List;

My latest yum update on my laptop running Fedora 7 produced the following 
warnings:

1) a number of 'created as .. rpmnew' messages:
warning: /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_dl14.map 
created 
as /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_dl14.map.rpmnew

warning: /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_ndl14.map 
created 
as /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_ndl14.map.rpmnew

warning: /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_dl14.map created 
as /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_dl14.map.rpmnew

warning: /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_ndl14.map created 
as /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_ndl14.map.rpmnew

2) semodule failure:
libsepol.check_assertion_helper: assertion on line 0 violated by allow 
exim_exec_t system_mail_t:process { sigchld };
libsepol.check_assertion_helper: assertion on line 0 violated by allow 
system_mail_t exim_exec_t:process { transition };
libsepol.check_assertion_helper: assertion on line 0 violated by allow 
system_mail_t exim_exec_t:process { transition };
libsepol.check_assertions: 3 assertion violations occured
libsemanage.semanage_expand_sandbox: Expand module failed
semodule:  Failed!


Here's my questions;
for the saved as ... rpmnew warnings, do I need to go and do something with 
these files to complete the upgrade?

for the semodule failure, is this bad? I'm not sure I understand what went 
wrong? do I need to take some sort of corrective action?


Thanks in advance...
