Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/abrt-pyhook-helper "write" access on /var/cache/abrt. Detailed Description: [abrt-pyhook-hel has a permissive type (sectoolm_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by abrt-pyhook-hel. It is not expected that this access is required by abrt-pyhook-hel 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.

chcon -t abrt_helper_exec_t /usr/libexec/abrt-pyhook-helper Will fix this problem. I will fix the default labelling in the next release Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-60.fc12.noarch

Daniel, when looking to the source code I discovered that abrt-pyhook-helper was renamed to "abrt-hook-python".
