SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/gpsd from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/localtime.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/etc/localtime default label should be locale_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/localtime

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that gpsd should be allowed read access on the localtime file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep gpsd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-02-14 07:47:14 UTC
Alert tells you how to fix.  Although we would like to know how it got
mislabeled in the first place.

restorecon /etc/localtime

Please reopen if this happens again.
