Summary: SELinux is preventing /bin/rm "dac_override" access . Detailed Description: [rm has a permissive type (prelink_cron_system_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by rm. It is not expected that this access is required by rm 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.

This indicates that you have a file that is not owned by root and not writable by root that root is trying to delete. We can discover the path of this file by running with full auditing turned on. auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w Turns on full auditing. The prelink script executes rm -f /etc/prelink.cache /var/lib/prelink/force So check the ownership on these files and the /var/lib/prelink directory.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days
