Thanks for the report, it seems to be an regression. Strange that it hasn't been caught by QE.
Created attachment 1218465 [details] Updated patch Updated patch, that caused the regression.

(In reply to Jaroslav Škarvada from comment #5) > Scratch build for testing: > http://people.redhat.com/jskarvad/rhbz1392438/ Thanks, with this the service starts up again as expected.
I was hit by this issue as well. When can the update be expected for RHEL7?
