Somehow my SElinux config has gotten messed up.  When I try to install a

argument).
semodule:  Failed!

The httpd_prewikka_rw_content_t does not exist.  The directory does
exist, but it doesn't matter whether the directory exists or not I still
get the error.  The problem entry is in

/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:/usr/share/prewikka/htdocs/generated_images
system_u:object_r:httpd_prewikka_rw_content_t:s0

I have tried using the various selinux tools to correct the problem
without success.

My questions are:

   1) Can I manually edit the file_contexts.local file and remove the
problem entry?
   2) Is this sufficient?
   3) Do I need to run anything after I remove the entry to get SElinux
to work correctly?

Here is al ls -l of /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  369806 Nov 20 04:44 file_contexts
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1379785 Aug 22 18:55 file_contexts.bin

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     139 Nov 20 04:43 media

How are the .bin files generated?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I would try to reinstall your selinux-policy and
selinux-policy-targeted RPMs first:

        sudo dnf reinstall selinux-policy selinux-policy-targeted

Then relabel your filesystem by doing:

        sudo touch /.autorelabel
        sudo reboot

You might need to "sudo setenforce 0" to put selinux in permissive mode
before the first command. Depends on how screwed up selinux is at this
point.
