It's from https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=55919#txn-753466 ,
which is a (IMHO) worse fix than we attempted to supply to the module author in
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=63555

Reverting col_0_fix.patch in Fedora is likely not the correct fix here -- the
patch in perl-HTML-FormatText-WithLinks-AndTables is absolutely fixing a bug,
and one that the original CPAN author has failed to address.  The RT tests are
merely being pessimistic and were expecting that the module would _always_
fail; the Fedora patched version doesn't so do, which isn't really a failure of
the Fedora version of the module -- we should be fixing the test to mark those
tests as TODO, or not test them at all.

For the short term, you can remove lines 85-106 of t/mail/html-outgoing.t in
Fedora.  I'll ponder what the most right fix is for code.

As noted above, I disagree that 1185427 is a bug that Fedora needs to address.

Thanks.  The core of it is "Failed to connect to database: unable to open
database file".  Can you think of anything that might prevent the webserver
from writing to $RT::VarPath (which I believe is /var/lib/rt under the Fedora
layout)?  Presumably selinux kicking in?
