/var/lib/squid (and it's contents) are labeled var_lib_t, but squid expects them to be labeled differently. Currently, strict expects one of the following: squid_log_t, var_run_t, var_t, squid_var_run_t, tmp_t, squid_tmpfs_t, tmpfs_t, var_log_t, squid_tmp_t, squid_cache_t.

Similar RedHat bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1195807 Maybe this directory is new and wasn't covered by an old policy?
Seems indeed like the location is new. Can you provide the output of the following command? I'll see if I can do the proper label mappings on sight. ~$ find /var/lib/squid This'll show all the content of this location.
~$ find /var/lib/squid /var/lib/squid /var/lib/squid/netdb.state /var/lib/squid/.keep_net-proxy_squid-0
Created attachment 410832 [details, diff] squid_var_lib_t.patch Can you test out these rules and see if everything works as it should?
If the /var/lib/squid location is meant to contain the cache, we might reuse squid_cache_t ? According to http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/netdb_filename/ the netdb.state file is more a logfile like one?
