I thought this issue was fixed a long time ago. Gene, do you have the
latest selinux-policy and yumex packages installed?

In order to run scriptlets properly, yumex needs to have the rpm_exec_t
SELinux file context:

# semanage fcontext -l | grep yumex
/usr/share/yumex/yumex                             regular file
system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0

So /usr/share/yumex/yumex should be rpm_exec_t; you can use:

$ ls -lZ /usr/share/yumex/yumex

to verify if this is the case.

Paul.
