Bug 687867

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug 630486 +++


Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python "search" access on /root/.local.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by paster. It is not expected that this access
is required by paster and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.
