Description Michal Trunecka 2014-07-22 11:43:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

When running semanage fcontext with incorrect selinux type, the error message says it must be a port type, which doesn't make sense with fcontext.

# semanage fcontext -m -N -t non_existing_t /test1
/usr/sbin/semanage: Type non_existing_t is invalid, must be a port type
