Thanks Simone,

I'll look into all your advice as soon as possible. I've gone back to
do backups with my old retired machine since I can't be without backups
too long, so I'll wait till the coming weekend to work again on the
problem.

And I'll not touch my selinux setup. If a programme doesn't work with
selinux it won't be installed on my system.
