Hello Michel,

  I wrote an script which you can use to handle this.

  Actually my script remove the SELinux contexts from a given
configuration channel, but you can modify the code to address your needs.

  Look my example below:

Configuration Channel:  selinux_test_channel
Files: /etc/hosts

-------

 Example:

$ python remove-selinux-ctx.py
Enter the configuration channel name: selinux_test_channel
--------------------

1 item(s) provided by channel selinux_test_channel
    Path: /etc/hosts     SELinux Context: system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0

Want to clean the SELinux context for all items listed above? [Y/n] Y


    Cleaning SELinux context for /etc/hosts

$ python remove-selinux-ctx.py
Enter the configuration channel name: selinux_test_channel
--------------------

1 item(s) provided by channel selinux_test_channel
    Path: /etc/hosts     (no SELinux context)

The items provided by configuration channel selinux_test_channel does
not have any SELinux context set

As you can see, using the script you can overwrite the SELinux Context.

Hope this is useful.

Best Regards,
mmello
