Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python "search" access on /root/.local.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by cobblerd. It is not expected that this access
is required by cobblerd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

The issue seems to be back in Fedora 20:

This is more bug in these apps. Adding fixes to the policy for cobbler.te.

We don't ship the osa_dispatcher policy.

So what are those applications doing wrong that this happens?
