Is the fix really not as simple as it appears?
It was pretty simple, actually. Alex came into #fedora-extras this morning looking for help on this issue, and I rolled an update, resolving this and #184171. I inadvertantly created another bug (if only one) in the process, but it's not a blocker, and if this package goes orphan next week, I'll likely take over and do another round of cleanups.
