Synopsis
rhnlib bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated rhnlib package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
rhnlib is a collection of Python modules used by the Red Hat Network (RHN)
software.
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
- in the previous rhnlib package, a default timeout of 30 seconds caused
connection timeouts against busy servers, and servers with a large number
of registered clients.
- when the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 version of rhnlib was installed, it
was not possible to upgrade from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 to 4. This
updated package provides a new package build for rhnlib, which resolves
the rhnlib conflict during upgrades from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 to 4.
Users of rhnlib are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
