:*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests  *************************
:
:If you want to fix the label. 
:/usr/share/locale default label should be locale_t.
:Then you can run restorecon.
:Do
:# /sbin/restorecon -v /usr/share/locale
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that gsd-datetime-mechanism should be allowed search access on the locale directory 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 gsd-datetime-me /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-11-21 12:16:33 UTC
Any idea why is /usr/share/locale labeled as user_home_t?  Is this a fresh install or did you upgrade from F15?

# restorecon -R -v /usr/share/locale

should fix the issue.

Comment 2 Basil Mohamed Gohar 2011-11-21 14:27:27 UTC
This was a fresh install.  Nothing I did that I can think of should have had anything to do with /usr/share/locale.  The only non-Fedora repos I have configured are RPMFusion and Google (for the Google Talk plugin), but I highly doubt either of those would change the SELinux contexts for that directory.
