Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python "create" access. Detailed Description: [system-config-k has a permissive type (kdumpgui_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by system-config-k. It is not expected that this access is required by system-config-k 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.
