Description of problem: I updated a Fedora 34 KDE Plasma installation with sudo dnf upgrade. The update included selinux-policy-3.14.7-18.fc34. I rebooted. avahi-daemon was denied watch accesses on directories listed as /services and / which I think were /etc/avahi/services and /etc/avahi because avahi-daemon called chroot() and the directories were labelled etc_t as /etc/avahi is. journalctl -b --no-hostname | grep avahi Feb 11 00:19:07 avahi-daemon[782]: Found user 'avahi' (UID 70) and group 'avahi' (GID 70).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.14.7-18.fc34 avahi-0.8-6.fc34 How reproducible: These denials have happened on each of a few boots. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a Fedora 34 KDE Plasma installation updated to 2021-2-11 2. Log in to Plasma 3. sudo dnf upgrade --refresh 4. Reboot Actual results: avahi-daemon watch denials on /etc/avahi with selinux-policy-3.14.7-18.fc34 Expected results: No denials would happen. Additional info: I'm using the targeted policy in enforcing mode. The denials didn't happen with selinux-policy-3.14.7-17.fc34 or earlier
