4. RedHat 7.7 Issue Two Weeks Ago RedHat Released Version 7.7
JTLS (And Many Applications Worldwide) Do Not Work

5. RedHat 7.7 Issue Two Weeks Ago RedHat Released Version 7.7
The problem is that one of the files in the package:
kde-settings el7.noarch is misconfigured.
One Possible Solution
JTLS Does Not Use The Package – It Could Be Removed
yum remove kde-settings*
R&A Continues To Monitor RedHat Solutions
Expected JTLS Will Be Approved For RedHat 7.7
