Do you know what directory it is creating? /var/lib/apps?
I'd guess, since that's what the message seems to say. But I've been running in permissive mode since I hit some more serious problems which I've reported, and I have no /var/lib/apps.
restorecon -R -v /var/lib/gdm
I did do an autorelabel, and I haven't seen the message since. But is there a way to avoid this breakage on other F8->F9 upgrades?
I am hoping that F8-f9 will cause a relabel of this directory.
