It is not maintained by the Fedora team.   Of the four you showed me, he is rebuilding the same b47
srpm  for each new version of Fedora.   Thank you for helping me make my point.

 > Intimating it's not maintained by Fedora feels disingenuous and could be construed as a bit of a slight to the all volunteers who build, test and release the distro?

Only this maintainer.  The reset are my heroes.  They are very responsive and very professional.

He is only rebuilding an old srpm, including a bug that frightens the heck out of users.  And he ignored my
request to correct the problem.    He is skating.

 > Perhaps it's not maintained at a cadence you need, that would be fair. This is a free, open source distro. If this is something you really care about, maybe become a maintainer?

Sorry.  I am not smart enough.  I know my limitations.

 > You haven't responded to the fact this could just be noise, either. Are your files being restored, just with some extraneous warnings? If so, maybe just hold out till the next mass rebuild and retest. 

It may be "just noise"  the two times I did a restore it was a small single file.  The the error scared the heck out of me.
And the "noise" was serious enough for up stream to correct it.

 > If they aren't being restored, and it's painful for you, you could just roll your own interim RPM until the next mass rebuild.-- 
 
Or find a better program.  It has been pointed out to me this is a very old program
originally made for tape backup.  Do you have a recommendation?

Thank you for the thoughtful  response!
