Description of problem:
I ran a dnf offline-upgrade in a F40 KDE Plasma installation which included selinux-policy-40.19-1.fc40. systemd-journald was denied reading /etc/systemd/journald.conf starting with the boot after the offline upgrade. The denial happened when systemd-journald was started during that boot. I reproduced the denial with sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald. I didn't see this denial with selinux-policy-40.18-2.fc40.
SELinux is preventing systemd-journal from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/systemd/journald.conf.

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

If you believe that systemd-journal should be allowed read access on the journald.conf file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'systemd-journal' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemdjournal
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemdjournal.pp
