Comment 1 Fabian Deutsch 2019-05-03 16:21:43 UTC
We consider this to be acceptable as KubeVirt is not stable yet.

I'd mark it as a known issue, workaround is to update to most recent virtctl.

Pan, for the release notes I guess

Comment 4 Irina Gulina 2019-06-19 07:59:05 UTC
Pan, in a know issue note, there is no wording what version of virtctl has this problem and when it was fixed. 
As Fabian suggested, can you add "the most recent" to "Update the virtctl RPM package ...", please?

Comment 6 Irina Gulina 2019-06-20 08:01:44 UTC
Yes, thanks Pan.
