RHBA-2008:0459 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
pykickstart bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated pykickstart package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The pykickstart package is a python library for manipulating kickstart
files.
This updated package addresses the following bug:
- kickstart files which included the "network --bootproto=query" option
were not properly parsed by pykickstart. If this option was present,
installation halted with an 'Error Parsing Kickstart Config' alert which
required a Reboot to exit. This updated package adds support for the query
configuration method for network devices. If "network --bootproto=query" is
present in a kickstart file, pykickstart now parses the option properly.
Users of pykickstart are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
