Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2023-07-18 06:26:08 UTC 
Reported upstream to https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/3308
Comment 2 Sandro Bonazzola 2023-07-18 07:06:48 UTC 
Pushed a fix: https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/3309
Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2023-07-18 07:46:36 UTC 
Martin is this issue blocking something? Is a rebuild with the fix needed urgently or can it wait till next sos release (which should happen soon, around the end of July)?
Comment 4 Martin Pitt 2023-07-18 08:17:03 UTC 
Sandro: Not for me personally, or for cockpit. I created a "naughty pattern" and a tracker in https://github.com/cockpit-project/bots/issues/5016 so that it doesn't block our tests, which "shuts it up". However, I don't have a good gut feeling how many people (try to) use sos in Rawhide. Thanks!
Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2023-07-18 08:40:41 UTC 
Ok, so I'll try get the patch merged upstream and included in next upstream release.
Comment 6 Jose Castillo 2023-07-18 09:45:18 UTC 
I've ack'ed the PR upstream, so hopefully when Jake comes online he approves and merges it, in time for 4.5.6
