Marc, could you share details on the patch? URL to a mailing list archive etc just for reference if we (GSS) need to deploy it before the errata is released.

Thanks,

Lee

Comment 4 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-01-23 17:56:59 UTC

note we can probably work around this problem with debug-helper, I will try to create a fake message loop to unblock the applet, although this is all fake, debug-helper is not the real process to wait for... sigh...

Comment 5 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-01-23 19:12:20 UTC

I sent another patch solving the problem on the virt-viewr ML
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-January/msg00075.html

Since debug-helper is no distributed, we can probably close that bug.

Comment 8 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-01-28 12:37:45 UTC

closing as can't fix, since debug-helper is not in the release.
