Looks like the updated audit package may be broken. I've raised a bugzilla ticket: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163223 Note that this "error" does not stop auditd from starting (at least not here). I think the issue may actually be a side effect of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161322, which the initscript does appear to try to mask, apparently unsuccessfully.
