For reference to the problem that I encountered, I included a link to 
the bug report that was fixed that related to pup.

Adjust the SELinux settings as described in the bug report Paul 
mentioned or run SELinux in permissive mode when using Yumex until the 
policy change is applied to yumex of the SELinux policy rules.
setenforce 0 puts you in permissive.
getenforce informs you of what mode you are in.
setenforce 1 will put you into enforcing mode again.


This should probably be added to yumex during its installation. It is a 
bit cryptic to me. I do realize that it will set the policy correct for 
yumex to work properly. (From bug report on yumex)

[root at localhost ~]# semanage fcontext -a -f -- -t rpm_exec_t 
/usr/share/yumex/yumex
[root at localhost ~]# restorecon  /usr/share/yumex/yumex
[root at localhost ~]# semanage fcontext -a -f -l -t rpm_exec_t /usr/bin/yumex
[root at localhost ~]# restorecon  /usr/bin/yumex
