Yes. It's just a bit hard to believe that there would be still a lot of
systems suffering from this, since yum would have complained about the
problem on every update, and you haven't had a single bug report about
the issue in a time period of more than two years..?
As stated in the first email, there is a bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574484
People (well, at least one person) first complained about it Mach 2010 - no
one listened (or did anything about it).
Anyway, I'll tell Jeremy he'll need to manually remove/update.
