Thanks for the explanation. I missed this fact, sorry.
I think it's feasible to break the problematic dependency to other
subpackages. I'll try to it and push it asap.
I have a fix for it in setools-4.1.0-1.fc26.6 -
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/build/516358/
python3-networkx is only required by setools-gui (/usr/bin/apol) and
setools-console-analyses (/usr/bin/sedta and /usr/bin/seinfoflow) now.
Basic sanity tests provided by policycoreutils and setools passed.
