Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2012-02-07 11:19:12 UTC 
How did you add the first definition?

$ semanage fcontext -a -t net_conf_t "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-(*)"
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:  line 4 has invalid regex /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-(*):  Invalid preceding regular expressio
Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-02-07 11:21:39 UTC 
Ahh, I see "/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local" is updated and this labeling is added which causes issues.

You will need to delete it from this file by hand.
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2012-02-07 14:45:59 UTC 
Miroslav are you saying the semanage command allowed the bad data in?

> Miroslav are you saying the semanage command allowed the bad data in?

Yes. But I have not looked at it yet.
Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2012-10-16 17:43:59 UTC 
Miroslav going through old bugs, is this one fixed?
Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2012-10-17 06:36:01 UTC 
Yes, we fixed it.
