This probably shouldn't be a blocker as its such a minor issue. 

Also another work around for this is to reboot the appliance that also seems to fix the link, making it even less of an issue.

Comment 4 Joe Rafaniello 2018-02-28 11:50:32 EST

I'd imagine you don't even have to reboot.  Exiting the shell and ssh'ing back in should reload your profile and the aliases.

Comment 5 Joe Rafaniello 2018-02-28 11:53:43 EST

I believe we have the same problem when we upgrade the ruby SCL.  The old SCL is in the paths and isn't accessible so you need to exit the shell/reboot/etc. after upgrading those rpms.

Updating the doc text and closing this as 'next release'.
