FU rpms. Damn, I'm good when I wanna be. If I thought it would be worth it, I'd shove a bug report up their asses @Fedora, but a simple "bite me" with the middle finger works for now.

Exiting...

It doesn't do it if I click to "Attach to Account Manager", but it does it when I click "Attach to Project", and that's the one I need.

Okay, yeah, let's start all over.

On second thought, let's don't. Fedora's running it fine with the upstream file, and the upstream file isn't working in Arch. Either way I go, from the repos or not, it's just plain not flying in Arch. I'm gonna let Fedora do the work. Been fooling with this for 3 hrs now, and there's nothing forthcoming on a resolution.
