Have you got the setroubleshoot-server package installed?  For x86_64 it
is part of the base repository, obviously arm may differ.  The package
installs a "SELinux Troubleshooter" entry in the Applications/Sundry
menu, or it can be launched via:

# /usr/bin/python -Es /usr/bin/sealert -s

It generates suggestions to fix SELinx issues.  Sometimes it is quite
useful, on other occasions it just lists vast numbers of possibilities
with little or no help.  On balance it is worth trying for when it does
help.
