The policy Makefile expects a .fc file to exist for every .te file under
domains/program. Hence, you have two choices:
1) Move httpd_socket.te from domains/program to domains/misc. This is
preferable anyway, and convention has been to put such rules in
domains/misc/local.te to reduce the risk that your file will ever
conflict with a file in the main policy package. -or-
2) Leave httpd_socket.te under domains/program but touch
file_contexts/program/httpd_socket.fc, creating an empty file with that
name to satisfy the policy Makefile.
I'd favor #1.
Have you updated to the latest policy available for FC3. This problem I
believe has
been fixed for a long time.
