Description of problem:

I originally reported this problem against augeas itself (https://fedorahosted.org/augeas/ticket/200) but after further investigation I think this problem is specific to Fedora.

When I compiled augeas directly from their git repo and replaced the libaugeas and libfa in the system with the custom compiled ones, the problem disappeared.

This is what I did to replace the libs:

> git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/augeas.git
> cd augeas
> git checkout release-0.8.1
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/install
> make && make install
> mkdir system-libs-backup
> sudo mv /usr/lib/libaugeas.* /usr/lib/libfa.* system-libs-backup
> sudo mv install/lib/libaugeas.* install/lib/libfa.* /usr/lib

After that, the repro steps work as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 14
augeas-libs: 0.8.1-2.f14.i686
augeas: 0.8.1-2.f14.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a daily cron job in your /etc/crontab:

0 0 * * * root echo hello 
1 0 * * * root echo hi

2. Start augtool and do:
augtool> match /files/etc/crontab/entry[time/minute = '0'] 
/files/etc/crontab/entry[1] = echo hello 
augtool> match /files/etc/crontab/entry[time/minute = '1'] 
/files/etc/crontab/entry[2] = echo hi 
augtool> match /files/etc/crontab/entry[time/minute != '1']
    (no matches)
augtool> match /files/etc/crontab/entry[time/minute != '0']
    (no matches)
  
Actual results:
See repro steps

Expected results:
augtool> match /files/etc/crontab/entry[time/minute != '1']
/files/etc/crontab/entry[1] = echo hello 
augtool> match /files/etc/crontab/entry[time/minute != '0']
/files/etc/crontab/entry[2] = echo hi
