[Pulp-list] Moving /var/lib/pulp

[Brian Bouterse]

A symlink issue was introduced with 2.8.0, but it's symptom is
observable when serving content and not with sync/publish issues[0].

This looks like a separate issue. Can you file an issue against Pulp and
include the specific AVC denials you are encountering? Also showing the
symlink link and target POSIX and selinux labels with `ls -laZ` would be
helpful.
