Description of problem:
Running restorecon
SELinux is preventing restorecon from using the 'mac_admin' capabilities.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that restorecon should have the mac_admin capability by default.
Then sie sollten dies als Fehler melden.
Um diesen Zugriff zu erlauben, können Sie ein lokales Richtlinien-Modul erstellen.

allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'restorecon' --raw | audit2allow -M my-restorecon
# semodule -X 300 -i my-restorecon.pp

Hi, 

Did you install clean Fedora 28 or you upgraded from Fedora 27? 

Thanks,
Lukas.

Comment 3 Jonathan Haas 2018-03-24 16:50:21 UTC
I upgraded from 27 and after that I got SELinux warnings that recommended running restorecon, which I did, which generated more warnings.

After that finished and I upgraded to latest package versions, it seems to work fine, though.
