Thanks, I wasn't aware of this issue. Does that mean that the test I did and the problem I saw were end-user errors and that there is no proble with your patch and I can use it as-is to cut 1.5.4.3 and future ones? That's a great news. But perhaps we would need some description/warning to help end users as clueless as I am with respect to yum in the release notes and/or announcements? Could you resend the patch with a commit log message that I can later reuse parts from for such a purpose, with a sign-off please?
