Comment 1 Zdeněk Pavlas 2011-07-11 08:42:12 UTC

Confirmed and hopefully fixed.

Comment 2 Paul 2011-07-11 22:13:36 UTC

Thanks for quick confirm and (hopeful) fix. I'll look forward to hearing that fix is verified and pushed out into F14 branch

Comment 3 James Antill 2011-07-13 16:46:19 UTC

 It's fixed upstream ... the probability of getting this backported to F14, or F14 getting a rebase is very small.

 You can use the rawhide rebuild repo. if you really need it (although rawhide hasn't changed since this was fixed, so you'll have to wait a few days for the next update there too).

 F15 _might_ get a rebase, in which case this would probably be included. So, if that happens, you could either move to F15 or use: yum --releasever15 upgrade yum

Comment 4 Paul 2011-07-13 18:04:38 UTC

Thanks for the information.

I can work around it with either vim or sed. I'll plan on picking it up whenever I move up to next release that gets it (F16 or maybe F15)

I am bringing up one of my systems under F16 Xfce and I am not seeing this problem in any of the "yum {update,install} whatever >& whatever.out" out files.

Once again, thanks for fixing,
Paul
