Details

An updated yum-rhn-plugin package that fixes a bug is now available.

yum-rhn-plugin provides support for yum to access a Red Hat Network server
for software updates.

This package addresses the following bug:

* yum clean all would not remove packages from the cache correctly, leaving
downloaded rpms in /var/cache/yum/rhel*/packages/. This updated package
fixes the issue and yum clean all now removes packages from the cache
correctly.

Users of yum should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
