Synopsis
rhn-applet bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated rhn-applet package that fixes a bug related to frequent checkins
is available.
Description
The rhn-applet package contains a panel applet that indicates when newer
Red Hat packages are available.
This erratum fixes a bug that caused the applet to contact the RHN servers
more frequently than necessary. This erratum also fixes an issue that
caused the applet to write its configuration file incorrectly.
Users of rhn-applet should upgrade to this updated package, which will
provide the same functionality, but be less wasteful of network resources.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. 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.
