That's normal.  SELinux registers as the primary security module, then
the capabilities module tries to register as the primary security
module, fails since SELinux is already there, and then proceeds to
fallback to registering as the secondary security module.

Most likely cause is that your filesystem isn't labeled.  What is your
filesystem type?  Should have occurred during the install, but you can
do a fixfiles relabel afterward as well.
