I read about this bug in the Centos 6.2 faq and the link showing it fixed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769859
but I am still getting it updating on a Centos 6.5 server that had selinux disabled. I want to run selinux as permissive but it won't load now on reboot.

I ran the yum update to apply this latest selinux update 
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-May/020294.html
for centos-release-6-5.el6.centos.11.2.x86_64.

I tried yum reinstall, yum remove and yum install for selinux-policy-targeted but I still receive the same error. I also enabled selinux as permissive and rebooted but selinux still will not start as permissive.

Anyone have a work around to get selinux working as permissive with this condition?

thx
