Running restorecon

Then sie sollten dies als Fehler melden.

allow this access for now by executing:

Hi, 

Did you install clean Fedora 28 or you upgraded from Fedora 27? 

Thanks,
Lukas.
Comment 3 Jonathan Haas 2018-03-24 16:50:21 UTC 
I upgraded from 27 and after that I got SELinux warnings that recommended running restorecon, which I did, which generated more warnings.

After that finished and I upgraded to latest package versions, it seems to work fine, though.
