true, but anyone who would have had hulahop installed at F-10 time
and did the (guaranteed) update to F11, F12, ... F15 at the right
times would still have this issue now, right?
tbh, it seems to be corner case enough to just say "uninstall and
re-install" but nonetheless...
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..?
