Nothing is wrong.  Nothing vanilla is missing.

These messages are because "Test" contains hooks for Security
Enhancements (SELinux) that are under test.

For most of us SELinux is even more bleeding edge than Test.  You do
not need to or want to install SELinux packages/ patches unless you
have a spare test system and a serious chunk of time to explore and
learn SELinux.  The curious may wish to look at:

     http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/index.cfm
     http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/

I expect these messages will vanish for standard installs for FC2.
For now they are harmless noise (unless you want the enhancements).
