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.
