Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-03-15 14:30:37 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.
Changing version to '13'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 16:36:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

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 prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 3 Vincent Danen 2011-06-16 18:00:30 UTC
This has not been addressed in Fedora yet, so bumping it.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-08-08 13:24:42 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Comment 5 Vincent Danen 2012-08-10 19:20:56 UTC
Judging that the last update to this package was:

* Mon Dec 31 2007 Marek Mahut <mmahut> - 2.1.7-1

I don't believe this flaw is fixed (and I would suspect this package may indeed be unmaintained at this point).  Re-opening.

Comment 6 pjp 2014-12-03 18:21:30 UTC
Hello mmahut,

Could you please fix this soon?

Comment 7 Eric Christensen 2014-12-04 18:02:11 UTC
This appears to have been fixed.

Comment 8 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-14 01:20:13 UTC
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days
