Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python "name_connect" access. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by yumdownloader. It is not expected that this access is required by yumdownloader 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.

i installed fedora 12 on a lenovo W500. When i ran the updates this morning i got this error, and signed up for a redhad bugzilla id, and reported the error(it is the first of 8 selinux errors) I have not used alternate/3rd party repos. i haven't even put in m3 decoding or dvd watching. this issue does still exist on 100% redhat/fedora distributed packages, so it DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. i will be happy to provide any information from my system to help solve the problem. this is preventing yum from working. i really don't want to disable selinux. it is there for a good reason.
