Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2013-08-24 03:27:36 UTC 
So, we could apply this single patch, or... we could look at updating to a newer version. 

In either case however, we need to likely test the affect this has on the other packages that use it that are in EPEL: 

repoquery -q --whatrequires perl-Net-Server

amavisd-new-0:2.8.0-4.el6.noarch
munin-0:2.0.17-1.el6.noarch
perl-Net-Server-Coro-0:1.2-2.el6.noarch
postgrey-0:1.34-1.el6.noarch
sqlgrey-0:1.7.6-3.el6.noarch

I'll see about trying to contact the owners of those various packages for comment.
