[Fedora maintainer speaking - I do not maintain rt in EPEL]

(In reply to David A. Cafaro from comment #1)
> This bug is VERY old, do we have an udpate/patch for this?
None that I am aware of. rt3 was abandoned upstream.

In Fedora >= 21, rt3 has been replaced with rt4 (rt-4.2.x) and is effectively
abandoned/dead in Fedora 20. It's only still present in F20, because I missed
to EOL it in time before F20 was released and because packages can't be removed
from Fedora after release.

I do not think trying to backport the changes from rt4 or trying to develop
actual bug-fixes is feasible (checking other distros could be worth a try,
though).

Instead I'd recommend to remove rt3 from all EPELs and - should there be
sufficient interest - somebody to try adding rt4 (4.0.x or 4.2.x) to EPEL.
However, due to the long chain of deps on (modern) perl-modules and
CentOS/RHEL's packaging policies, I would expect this to be a challenging,
almost impossible task.
