And have you done with this bug what I'm sure we all know we are supposed to do with bugs we find? :P
Done right now.
This morning's reboot gave me another opportunity to take a somewhat deeper look ;)
Thank you Ralf, following up with a bugzilla is very much appreciated. The key to diagnosing the problem is right there in the syslog:
setroubleshoot: [program.ERROR] Can not handle AVC'S related to the dispatcher. exiting
tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:setroubleshootd_t:s0 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:setroubleshootd_t:s0
This means setroubleshootd saw an AVC that it generated itself. This should never happen and to prevent infinite recursion the daemon shuts down. This is most likely due to a policy bug. There were some known policy bugs early in F8 (before GOLD) related to setroubleshoot but those should have been fixed. Is your policy up to date?
I have been seeing the same thing very recently with a fully up to date F8 installation that has never seen Rawhide. I thought that it was related to my LiveCD creation but I had setroubleshoot applet disconnect from the selinux deamon soon after my Sunday log rotation. I will add my logs to this bug when I get a chance.
