I am getting this bug with redhat-config-date-1.5.7-6 which I believe was the proposed fix.
Can you try upgrading to 1.5.9-4 out of Rawhide?
redhat-config-date-1.5.9-4 from rawhide resolved the problem
Ok, good. I later realized that you were actually having a slightly different bug than bug #82061, but I knew that I had fixed something like yours in the past few weeks. I'm glad to know things are working now. Closing as 'rawhide'.
