Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-10-21 15:59:04 UTC
Since RHEL 6.2 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 3 Peter Schiffer 2011-11-01 17:55:00 UTC
Thanks for the report, but mixing two distributions together is never a good idea. It can't work properly - that's one of the main reasons why EPEL-6 repository exists: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL .
So, as this configuration is not supported, I will probably close this as NOTABUG, but I'll check it briefly before doing that.

Comment 4 Peter Schiffer 2012-06-11 12:51:24 UTC
As mentioned in comment 3, I am closing this issue as NOTABUG.

If you need to add Fedora repository to RHEL because of some missing packages, or any other reason, please use our Customer Portal: https://access.redhat.com/support/ to get appropriate support.

Thanks,

peter
