Indeed, it might be confusable to understand whether the installation got
completed correctly, or not.
So, I appended more descriptions about this messages, as follows:
+ <para>
+ Please note that you may see the following notifications depending on
+ the combination of a particular version of <productname>libselinux</>
+ and <productname>selinux-policy</>.
+<screen>
+/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/sepgsql_contexts: line 33 has invalid object ty
+</screen>
+ It is harmless messages and already fixed. So, you can ignore these
+ messages or update related packages to the latest version.
+ </para>
See the attached patch, that contains other 3 documentation updates.

OK, I like to check them. In addition, I'll also revise the wikipage in
parallel to inform correctly.
