Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 "search" access . Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by polkit-agent-he. It is not expected that this access is required by polkit-agent-he 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.
