Hi Colin,

sorry for not solving this problem. I was recently reassigned to
resolve bugs related to passwd so I couldn't investigate the
installation problems you mentioned sooner. Recently I'm testing and
closing old bugs. I'll close this bug as WONTFIX because Red Hat Linux
7 is far beyond its EOL. Thanks for the report!

cheers,
Jindrich
