I can see where this issue has been fixed in the RHEL flavors, but I cannot see any evidence that this issue was fixed for FC4 (or FC3) either in the Fedora-announce-list nor in the released Fedora packages... Were fixed packages for FC4 pushed for this issue, and I'm just missing something? Oh - additionally. Shouldn't RHSA-2006-0272 point to Bug 174814 instead of this bug since this one is for FC4 (and FC3), but Bug 174814 is for RHEL? Thanks. -David
Can someone at Red Hat revisit this as per comment #5, before the the FC4 EOL? Thanks.
This bug has apparently been fixed for Fedora Core 4 (see Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2006-854 @ <http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2006-July/msg00101.html>) but it appears FC3 was already at end of active Red Hat maintenance when this was fixed for FC4. For Legacy, this still needs work for FC3 and other releases. Bug for FC3 and earlier releases is Bug #175405.
