Greetings;

I just did a yumex update which included the python and semanage updates, 
and selinux positively threw a fit.

setroubleshooter says I now have 47 brand new copies of this:

host=coyote.coyote.den type=AVC msg=audit(1217637926.43:906): avc: denied { sys_tty_config } for pid=2768 comm="semanage" 
capability=26 scontext=system_u:system_r:semanage_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:semanage_t:s0 tclass=capability 

host=coyote.coyote.den type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1217637926.43:906): arch=40000003 syscall=54 success=yes exit=0 a0=1 a1=5401 
a2=bfd9796c a3=bfd97a8c items=0 ppid=2762 pid=2768 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 
tty=(none) ses=1 comm="semanage" exe="/usr/bin/python" subj=system_u:system_r:semanage_t:s0 key=(null) 

Fixable?

Thanks.
