Description Richard W.M. Jones 2014-03-14 08:47:21 UTC
Description of problem:

The supermin --if-newer option is designed to test if the appliance
needs to be rebuilt.  However it doesn't take into account several
things that could affect the appliance (especially ext2 appliances):

 - SUPERMIN_KERNEL environment variable
 - SUPERMIN_MODULES environment variable
 - the version of supermin itself

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

supermin 5.1.5

Comment 1 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 15:34:41 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.
