I am sure you didn't disable it in Fedora.  But it probably is disabled in Debian. 

If that is the case then there will be conflicts with files and how they are created and such since Debian will most likely mess with the selinux file labels since its filesystem is unable to deal with them.

The Z says to list the selinux contexts.  It would seem yours are messed up as I suspected.

grep for the string AVC in that file.

As I mentioned in a second message.  Try using "setenforce 0" and then run your tests.  This will put selinux into permissive mode and allow things to run if what is happening is as I suspect.

To make it easier on the "average" user?  :-)
