Thanks for opening that bug.

Note that my outbound e-mail was being blocked by this. I am using postfix for outbound and the smtp alerts 
were triggering for each outbound e-mail attempt and were just queuing up until I did "sudo setenforce 
0". I verified that new outbound mail was sent after that and I also "pushed" the queue with 
"postqueue -f" and watched the log as it drained.

I might just switch back to the regular setup so that I can have selinux 
enabled while waiting for the fix to this.

If you want to try to fiddle with this: I don't know how NetworkManager writes 
out no-stub-resolv.conf. If it creates something like 
'no-stub-resolv.conf.tmp', writes it out, and then renames it to 
'no-stub-resolv.conf' then finding a workaround would be tough.

But, if NetworkManager just writes out a new no-stub-resolv.conf, then fiddling 
the selinux context on the file might make things work again.

Until the next update to selinux-policy-targeted, I suppose, which runs a 
restorecon on the entire universe, and will reset it again. But at least this 
is something that will only need to be manually unfraked once in a while, until 
the policies get fixed (hopefully).

There is supposedly a way to override local policies and provide site-specific 
overrides for selinux contexts. Or so I heard. But selinux is very poorly 
documented, and is very painful to work with, and I never investigated this in 
the past.


When I tested reverting to the previous behavior I simply started with an empty 
/etc/resolv.conf.
No symlink.  No selinux troubles.  Everything just worked.
