proposed patch
Note that the proposed patch also changes the warning in test_rlFileBackupSymlinkWarn() where it serves as a grep expression. Thanks for patch, it sounds reasonable to me. beakerlib-1.11-1.el6 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 6. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2015-f36ff57e84 beakerlib-1.11-1.fc21 has been pushed to the Fedora 21 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with $ su -c 'dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update beakerlib' You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-4c96e73472 beakerlib-1.11-1.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 testing repository.

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Still relevant in FC22; in fact the fix is being tested by now. beakerlib-1.11-1.el7 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 testing repository.

Description of problem: When backing up a symlink (which works in that symlink is backed up, not its target), current warning is little less useful than could be: :: [ WARNING ] :: rlFileBackup: Backup target is a symlink: /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix First, the use of word "target" may be ambiguous, and second, it does not provide info about what actually happens (ie. the symlink is backed up as is and not skipped or dereferenced). Suggestion: :: [ WARNING ] :: rlFileBackup: Backing up symlink (not its target): /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix
