Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python "search" access on /var/lib/yum. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by system-config-f. It is not expected that this access is required by system-config-f 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.

I think it can be dontaudited. maurizio, does everything work as expect?
Well if the firewall gui is running yum it might need to be able to read this directory.
Never mind. I thought is was running yum it is looking at the directory yum
