Looking through the list of files seems to indicate that the specified 
directory is /usr/share/doc/selinux-policy-2.4.5/ for versioning which 
is probably fairly standard with packages. When I had the crash 
installing with exit code -1, I removed the database entry for the older 
version since it did not come back clean. The later version verified 
with rpm.
Since I only removed the database entry for the older package, I noticed 
that there were still files from the old rpm using locate to query files 
(after running updatedb).
I did not pay attention to the importance of the files comparing 
documents to config files or program files. I guess the package is setup 
correctly without specific versioning except for documentation.

Thanks,
Jim
