Adding enforcing=0 to the boot parameters resolved the problem.
/etc/selinux/config has SELINUX=enforcing.
If only SELinux gave coherent error messages!!!
It's own reports are incoherent, and other things fail due to it with
no indication that the problem was with SELinux rather than itself.
You could try setting it to permissive, have it relabel the system,
set it back to enforcing, and see if things are working again
Thanks for the guidance.
I have a theory. Tell me if it makes any sense. After installing F43 I
copied a user directory from a disk that had backups from a non-SELinux
system. Could that be the source of my problem?
I have set the config to permissive. Is that OK for long term use?
That's most likely. Did you check the journal? Relabel the home directory.
