Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
------- Comment From sglass.com 2011-04-07 11:17 EDT------- Red Hat, we are requesting an exception for these fixes. Without these fixes the customers will have issues - migration with Qbg support will be broken. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks
Hello, This is to late for an exception request for 6.1. Would you be able to confirm if this issue occurred in 6.0? Thank You Joe Kachuck
