RHEL 5.6 has augeas-0.7.2-1.el5.3 without this patch, which is required for v2v on RHEL-5.6 For RHEL-5.6 we can either take upstream 0.7.3 or this patch only. If we stay on 0.7.2 we should also bump Epoch to win over EPEL-5, which already has augeas-0.7.3-1.el5 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #613967 +++ --- Additional comment from mbooth on 2010-08-04 10:59:34 EDT --- I've generated a reproducer for this using only augtool, so this is definitely an augeas issue. Reproducer is here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/augeas-devel/2010-August/msg00012.html --- Additional comment from rjones on 2010-08-05 17:28:58 EDT --- David posted this potential fix upstream: https://www.redhat.com/archives/augeas-devel/2010-August/msg00015.html --- Additional comment from mbooth on 2010-08-06 05:02:17 EDT --- I've confirmed that this fixes the v2v crasher. Note that I only tested patch 2. --- Additional comment from mbooth on 2010-08-10 06:06:54 EDT --- Fixed in augeas-0.7.2-3.el6
