RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dean Nelson 2017-02-22 17:19:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

rpmdiff found issue with "RPM changelog", saying the following from acpica-tools.spec needs inspection...

  +- Remove acpitests-unix-20160527 directory from the build because it was a
     mistake that it was present and it complicated the fixing of the file

This results from the use of the "%{version}" macro that appears in the changelog. The percent character has a special meaning, so it has to be escaped by another '%' to avoid the substitution, like so...

The importance of this fix is so low, that it will have to wait until something worth fighting through the errata process (with its rpmdiff and covscan morass) arrives.  ;-)

Fedora package has a patch applied for this problem; just need to pull it in for 7.6.
