Advisory: RHBA-2001:119-16
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2001-10-03
Last updated on: 2001-11-20
Affected Products: Red Hat Linux 6.2
Red Hat Linux 7.0
Red Hat Linux 7.1
Red Hat Linux 7.2
OVAL: N/A

Details

Updated up2date and rhn_register packages are available. New Red Hat
Network features are available and some minor performance improvements
are to be found. Several bug fixes are also included.

There are several bugs in the 7.2 clients that fixed. In addition,
the clients for 6.2/7.0/7.1 bring new features to these releases
that were first available in the 7.2 up2date client.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
