Description of problem: Upon updating two systems (Fedora 24, 64-bit) using dnf, the following error displayed during the process on both systems: /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.kern: read error (tried to read 8192 bytes from offset 3786868) cannot reconstruct rpm from disk files selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-191.17.fc24.noarch: Delta RPM rebuild failed It appears to have re-downloaded the package after the error occurred on each: selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-191.17.fc24.noar 6.7 MB/s | 8.7 MB 00:01
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I get the same error on Fedora 25: ===== selinux-policy noarch 3.13.1-225.19.fc25 updates 495 k selinux-policy-targeted noarch 3.13.1-225.19.fc25 updates 9.3 M . . .

Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
I concur with Mr. Reiser in comment #2. I got the error recently with Fedora 25, and the symptoms looked much the same. It recovered after fetching the standard RPM, after the processing of the delta RPM failed. If I see it again, I'll open a new bug, unless I see that this one gets re-opened.
I get the same error in f26, so the original Reporter (or someone with privileges) could change the Version to 26, thus keeping this report alive beyond f24 EOL. ===== (194/382): selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-259.fc26_3.13.1-260.4. 1.0 MB/s | 5.3 MB 00:05 [[snip]] (369/382): selinux-policy-3.13.1-260.4.fc26.noarch.rpm 271 kB/s | 502 kB 00:01 [[snip]] var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.kern: read error (tried to read 4600 bytes from offset 3888024) cannot reconstruct rpm from disk files [DRPM 193/200] sqlite-libs-3.19.1-1.fc26_3.20.0-1.fc26.x86_64.drpm: done [DRPM 194/200] strace-4.17-1.fc26_4.18-1.fc26.x86_64.drpm: done [DRPM 195/200] tar-1.29-4.fc26_1.29-5.fc26.x86_64.drpm: done [DRPM 196/200] unzip-6.0-33.fc26_6.0-34.fc26.x86_64.drpm: done [DRPM 197/200] totem-pl-parser-3.10.7-2.fc26_3.10.8-1.fc26.x86_64.drpm: done [DRPM 198/200] unicode-ucd-9.0.0-3.fc26_10.0.0-1.fc26.noarch.drpm: done [DRPM 199/200] firefox-54.0-2.fc26_55.0.1-1.fc26.x86_64.drpm: done Some packages were not downloaded.

I saw this on Fedora 26 as well. Is there a bug to track this on F26?
I got the same error during today's update. (selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-260.8.fc26.noarch) /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.kern: read error (tried to read 6452 bytes from offset 3888896) cannot reconstruct rpm from disk files
Can also confirm the error on today's update of selinux-policy-3.13.1-260.8.fc26.noarch.rpm. /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.kern: read error (tried to read 6452 bytes from offset 3888896) cannot reconstruct rpm from disk files
Cloned to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1489771 as a Fedora 26 bug since no-one with privileges has re-opened/re-versioned this one.
