Description Leszek Matok 2013-06-29 08:07:15 UTC
Description of problem:
After updating gnome-power-manager to latest updates-testing version, it pulled ConsoleKit as a dependency and started working.

But I tested setting power button to shutdown instead of suspend and this is what happened.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/systemctl from 'read' accesses on the file utmp.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that systemctl should be allowed read access on the utmp 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 shutdown /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
