All,

Indeed the kernel cmdline option security=none did disable smack. So
atleast that works. Thank you all for helping me track this down.  I can
now return to updating packages (some of which have been waiting
patiently for this to be cleared up)!  Though I will be looking forward
to this feature working as it was intended. ;)  Let me know if there is
a bug # assigned and I'll quietly return to lurking... ;)
