Type/Severity

Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated up2date packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
The up2date package contains the Red Hat Update Agent, which automatically
queries the Red Hat Network servers and determines which packages need to
be updated on your machine.
These packages apply fixes for the following bugs:
- returned inaccurate error message when missing '-f' for kernel updates
- returned misleading usage message
- up2date +get source failed if no source available
- up2date config file was not ignored in rpm -V
- repomd error occurred after up2date
- rpm verify failed because config files in .spec are not marked
- make --channel limit the channel universes for various operations
- RHN 'sync packages to system' installing i386 glibc on i686
- the --whatprovides option did not handle compat arch provides
- the rhnreg_ks --version option did not display properly
- up2date failed to properly obsolete mozilla packages after installing
seamonkey
All users of up2date should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
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.
