RE: db problems in 1.0.2

I only have one rh7.1 box, but it was a clean install in recent memory, and
nothing has been added except redhat errata...

Did you follow the exact steps I took to reproduce it:

I added a note that other methods did not have the same (incorrect) results
for me:

On a side note, redhat apparently has a new up2date version (2.7.46), does
anyone know how well this interacts with current?
