QPID-5952:

This is a packaging related bug. Both the QPID-5637 and QPID-5557 are fixed in Qpid 0.28. Both of those patches, patch code in python-qpid.

I have some confusion about what version of Qpid is being packaged with RHEL7. I believe the version available in base RHEL 7 is python-qpid-0.28-3.el7.noarch.rpm I can see that in these non-official packagers that build from SRPM like this one [0]. The version they provide is 0.28 release 3, and it does not include the patches that are supposed to be in version 0.28. I must be misunderstanding this because those two bugs were supposed to be fixed with 0.28.

I looked in EPEL and I don't see it there either [1]. What version is packaged with RHEL7?

Comment #1:

I pulled out the source tarball inside of the EL7 package above and compared it's MD5 sum to the tarball from the qpid.apache.org/download.html website. The MD5 sums for both files are identical:

$ md5sum qpid-python-0.28.tar.gz qpid-python-0.28.site.tar.gz 
e07a26549020c82f79f694aafb750bf0 qpid-python-0.28.tar.gz
e07a26549020c82f79f694aafb750bf0 qpid-python-0.28.site.tar.gz

I agree, I don't see the changes from QPID-5637 represented in the code. I do see 

QPID-5557. Looking at line 957:
    assrt = lnk.options.get("assert") in ("always", dir)
    requested_type = lnk.options.get("node", {}).get("type")
    def do_resolved(type, subtype):
which comes from the patch for QPID-5557:
     assrt = lnk.options.get("assert") in ("always", dir)
+    requested_type = lnk.options.get("node", {}).get("type")
     def do_resolved(type, subtype):
