Here is a error from updating the sysklogd package that appearently 
comes from some file context problem.  The  last line about  the post 
script  failing has to do with being in enforcing mode but  the 
catch-22  is that the avc denied messages are incomplete which is the 
reason I am replacing the sysklogd package in the first place. The 
partial avc denied messages are further below. When  doing the same rpm 
command in permissive mode, the context error is still produce but the 
post script runs.
