Description of problem:
I upgraded from RedHat 7.3 to the 1st beta of limbo redhat using a CD.  Then I
upgraded to beta 2 of limbo just using up2date.

I notice in my /var/log/messages file that I keep getting the following new
error message:

I looked at /usr/share/firstboot/modules/soundcard_gui.py and notice it seems to
be a development version since it has the following towards the top which would
confuse were to find modules:

#sys.path.append('/usr/share/redhat-config-soundcard/')
sys.path.append('/home/devel/bfox/redhat/redhat-config-soundcard/src/')

Looking around that directory, it appears most files are symlinks to similar
named files in /usr/share/redhat-config-*.

It looks like the soundcard_gui.* files should be symlinks to files in
/usr/share/redhat-config-soundcard.

root@brew4me { 1076 } >rpm -q -f soundcard_gui.py

I'm certain this bug was fixed before the release of RHL 8.0. It
should be CLOSED/CURRENTRELEASE.
