Seems it hasn't been examined/tested carefully.

Additiona note: fedora package doesn't directly fit to epel6 - rhel6 still has net-tools instead of hostname to depend on.

Comment 3 Christopher Meng 2013-09-16 08:19:27 UTC

Don't blame me too much. IMO this update shouldn't be pushed to el6 branch but unfortunately this update is not submmited by myself.

Fortunate coming is that libstatgrab 0.9 is stable enough for rebuild(I just tested at http://ur1.ca/fk9yy ). I will submit rebuild ASAP.

> Don't blame me too much.

Uh, come on, Christopher! *You* are the maintainer, and you have spent the +1 in bodhi, too. There's a testing period and an updates policy for good reasons. There's no need to rush and unleash untested updates.

Comment 5 Tuomo Soini 2013-09-18 06:00:41 UTC

Hmmh. now there is bwm-ng-0.6-6.el6.2 without libsttgrab. Isn't that another error when libstatgrab was already downgraded?
