Details
An updated yum package that fixes one bug and adds one enhancement is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Yum is a utility that can check for updates and automatically download and
install updated RPM packages. Dependencies are obtained and downloaded
automatically, prompting the user for permission as necessary.
This update fixes the following bug:
* Prior to this update, the nice level for daemon restarts was inherited from
the environment. As a consequence, daemons updated by yum-updatesd restarted at
a lower priority and changed the system behaviour. This update modifies the
underlying code so that the daemons are now at normal priority of 0. (BZ#552279)
This update also adds the following enhancement:
* This update adds the commands update-to and upgrade-to to the yum package,
which allow to upgrade a certain package to a specific version. (BZ#662175)
All users of yum are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug and adds this enhancement.
Solution
