Watch for selinux-related warnings/errors 3. Actual results: selinux warnings/errors Expected results: Works. Additional info: Not sure where to file this, as it's a combo of sudo, yum, and selinux.

Created attachment 100042 [details] Full transcript of "sudo yum -y update" Note: I hit <ctrl>-c toward the end of this run, hence some of the latter issues.
yum needs to be run from the role "sysadm_r". sudo su - yum update is one way to achieve the sysadm_r role. There is sudo -r sysadm_r yum update iirc, check the man page.
