SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/pdftex from 'open' accesses on the file .

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

If sie denken, dass es pdftex standardmässig erlaubt sein sollte, open Zugriff auf  file zu erhalten.
Then sie sollten dies als Fehler melden.
Um diesen Zugriff zu erlauben, können Sie ein lokales Richtlinien-Modul erstellen.
Do
zugriff jetzt erlauben, indem Sie die nachfolgenden Befehle ausführen:
# grep pdflatex /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Nils 2014-07-13 20:12:52 UTC
just ran restorecon -vR . on the directory and it fixed the type to tetex_data_t.

I thought that i tried that already a few days ago. Seems to be fixed now.
