system-config-linux.py GUI inserts corrupt file labeling rule

[Robert Nichols]

Want to have fun? Run the system-config-linux GUI, go to "File Labeling"
and add a file context, let's say "var_t" for /tmp/junk regular file.

Hint: It would be wise to save all your local customizations before
       trying that.

What you get is a corrupt rule where the File Type is shown as
          [''.'--','-d','-c','-b','-s','-l','-p']

Now you are stuck. Because of the corrupt file type you can't delete
this rule. You can no longer save your local customizations because
"semanage -o" barfs on the corrupt type. Your only choice is to run
"semanage fcontext -D" to delete _all_ your customized contexts and
load them in again (_without_ using the GUI).

It doesn't matter what file type you selected. All are bad.

Doesn't anybody test this stuff?
