Now they are passed on new package by regression testing(bz130467 failed on i386 as expected since no server is on the same subnet as the client, other arches are all ok; bz248152 are ok too.) https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/130794 https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/130801 https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/130804 https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/130805 https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/130806
