Logrotate frustration

Hello all,

Its seems that almost every week logrotate is throwing up a new AVC. I
have an almost vanilla F11 install with most packages installed via yum
and yet I keep getting these. Each time I audit2allow and build a new
policy. My "mylogr.te" is now at version 7. Am I missing a bool or is
there something else I'm lacking?

Here is the latest version of my policy:


===============8<==================================================

module mylogr 11.1.7;

require {
	type mail_spool_t;
	type logrotate_t;
	type fail2ban_var_run_t;
	type initrc_t;
	type squid_log_t;
	class dir {read open write remove_name};
	class file { getattr read write open};
	class file setattr;
	class sock_file write;
        class unix_stream_socket connectto;
	class lnk_file rename;
}

#============= logrotate_t ==============
allow logrotate_t mail_spool_t:file { getattr read write open };
allow logrotate_t mail_spool_t:dir { read open write remove_name};
allow logrotate_t mail_spool_t:file setattr;
allow logrotate_t fail2ban_var_run_t:sock_file write;
allow logrotate_t initrc_t:unix_stream_socket connectto;
allow logrotate_t squid_log_t:lnk_file rename;

This was today's AVC that necessitated the inclusion of the squid stuff:
