Unless you explicitly enabled SELinux at install time, it shouldn't be
active.  If you want to enable SELinux, see the FAQ at
http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/fc2/selinux-faq-en/index.html.
You have to install the policy package in that case, along with several
other steps for enabling SELinux post-install.  If you don't want to use
SELinux, I think you can just touch that file to suppress the warnings
from up2date/rpm.

libselinux 1.11 was the version included in FC2, and I don't think that
there have been any updates to libselinux for FC2.  FC3/test1 included
libselinux 1.14, and 1.15 subsequently appeared in FC3/devel, but the
latest in FC3/devel is 1.17.  I don't know where you are getting 1.15
from.  What is in your /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file?
