Hi Jeremy,
Do you have selinux enabled?
I get similar messages to these on my RHEL 7 Xymon server when upgrading
and I don't have selinux enabled. I had asked J.C. about it previously and
he pretty much just said that they were there because I didn't have selinux
enabled. So, I just ignore them now.

Hi
I have a couple of Xymon servers running RHELv6.7. I use the
terabithia.org repo for the Xymon package, and it's been working just
fine.
However, recently I did a "yum update" and saw a message that was of
concern to me. There were quite a few packages to update because it had
been a while since I applied the last round of updates. Amidst the stream
of updates was a bunch of errors related to xymon and selinux:
Updating : xymon-4.3.24-3.el6.x86_64
178/481
SELinux: Could not downgrade policy file
/etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.24, searching for an older version.
SELinux: Could not open policy file <=
/etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.24: No such file or directory
libsemanage.semanage_reload_policy: load_policy returned error code 2.
SELinux: Could not downgrade policy file
/etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.24, searching for an older version.
SELinux: Could not open policy file <=
/etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.24: No such file or directory
(repeated about 20 times)
I'm inexperienced with selinux troubleshooting, and apart from knowing the
concepts behind how it all works, I'm really in the dark about what goes on
behind the scenes.
Are these messages cause for concern? Is there something I need to do in
order to complete the selinux policy update? Or something I can do next
time to avoid the error messages?
Cheers
Jeremy
