System/Administration/SELinux Management/System Default Enforcing
Mode/Permissive

or su -c 'setenforce 0' and edit /etc/selinux/config and change
enforcing to permissive. If you can't stop the warnings turn off SELinux
completely and enable in a month or so to see if problems fixed.

Accept all the upgrades as one is to selinux policy so will help.

Amarok will not play at all on mine which must be something to do with
codec for MP3 but amarok-mp3 is no longer available. Installing
gstreamer hasn't helped.
