Name        : setroubleshoot-plugins
Product     : Fedora 8
Version     : 2.0.4
Release     : 3.fc8
URL         : https://fedorahosted.org/setroubleshoot
Summary     : Analysis plugins for use with setroubleshoot
Description :
This package provides a set of analysis plugins for use with
setroubleshoot. Each plugin has the capacity to analyze SELinux AVC
data and system data to provide user friendly reports describing how
to interpret SELinux AVC denials.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This is a major upgrade of setroubleshoot. The primary difference is  how audit
data is captured, analyzed, and stored. Security  vulnerabilities, performance,
usability, and robustness have been  addressed in addition to general bug fixes.
Important Installation Notes: The format of the persistent data store  has
changed, after installation the alert database will be newly  initialized and
previous alerts will be lost. For most users this will  not be an issue since
alerts are ephemeral and if the alerting issue  persists a new alert will be
generated in the new format the next time  it occurs. Also, some users may
experience an error dialog from  sealert during installation due to the order in
which files are  installed, this may safely be ignored and is a known issue.
After  installation the sealert desktop component should be restarted, this  can
be achieved by logging out of your desktop sesson or by issuing  the following
commands from within the desktop session.    % sealert -q  % sealert -s
