This warning is (at least) part of the remaining selinux problem in
rpm-5.1.6+:
The sealert application attempted to load /usr/lib/librpmmisc-5.0.so
which requires text relocation. This is a potential security problem.
Most libraries do not need this permission. Libraries are sometimes
coded incorrectly and request this permission. The SELinux Memory
Protection Tests web page explains how to remove this requirement. You
can configure SELinux temporarily to allow /usr/lib/librpmmisc-5.0.so
to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is fixed. Please
file a bug report against this package.
Isn't selinux funner?
