Details
An updated yum package that fixes a bug in the cache control mechanism is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Yum is a utility that can check for and automatically download and install
updated RPM packages. Dependencies are obtained and downloaded automatically,
prompting the user for permission as necessary.
This updated package provides fixes for the following bug:
* Previously, when getting unique metadata from Red Hat Network (RHN), yum would
only delete the downloaded files and not the generated (.sqlite) files. This
meant that /var/cache/yum would grow without bound. With this update, yum will
delete the generated files as well. (BZ#646982)
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this
issue.
Solution
