Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python "name_connect" access. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by yum. It is not expected that this access is required by yum 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. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

Does yum need to connect to lots of random ports? I guess ftp, http?
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-42.fc12.noarch

(In reply to comment #3) > Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-42.fc12.noarch I am still getting this error message with: # rpm -q selinux-policy selinux-policy-3.6.32-49.fc12.noarch does it require a reboot to take effect?
