Why!? There's sometimes no log output anywhere obvious that a syscall
or something was blocked. It's the reason I turn off selinux on my
work development machine, and I've often wasted *hours* of my life on
code "doing something impossible" over the last decade until a neuron
at the back of my brain remembers "you've not yet turned off selinux"
and then when I "sudo setenforce 0" it works, and I can't actually
file a bug as there's no indication of what selinux actually blocked
or why.
