I do not have man-db installed and do thus not have /var/cache/man ... but here in permissive mode it seems like systemd creates it because of the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf entry. I guess that it could be argued that the policy is right and the problem should be fixed elsewhere. Perhaps: * systemd could require man-db ... no ... please don't * /var/cache/man could move to filesystem ... yes, perhaps * systemd shouldn't create non-existing directories ... also an option selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-28.fc16.noarch kernel-3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 dracut-013-8.fc16.noarch systemd-35-1.fc16.x86_64
