Description Björn Seifert 2009-03-23 10:47:02 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux denied access requested by devkit-power-da. It is not expected that this access is required by devkit-power-da and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.

# grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
