For some reason, no. We couldn't get logged back into the system
because of avc denial problems. So we just uninstalled it and

It appeared like it had become totally confused. Probably because of
all the different package removals and installs. Maybe there is a
common cause for why the rpmdb got totally confused and selinux getting
confused. I was not able to find out why this was happening only found
a way to work around the problems.
