There was really no error here.  Basically I pulled hostname policy from 
targeted.  So it reports this as an error.
libsemanage then says Failed!  Even though it continues and completes 
the reload.  Why does the libary say Failed?
What is this error Data did not represent a module?
This is actually a very scary looking warning.
