Details

An updated rhnlib package that fixes various bugs is now available.

rhnlib is a collection of python modules used by the
Red Hat Network (http://rhn.redhat.com) software.

Bugs fixed in this updated package include:

* settimeout attribute error issue is fixed for registration to work.

* When rhn_check connected to the satellite server and network problems
prevented SSL handshake, the script hung indefinitely waiting for data.
Since rhn_check will not run if an existing process is already running,
the only way to resolve this issue short of rebooting was to kill the
hung process.

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolve these issues.
