Topic
An updated yum-rhn-plugin package that fixes three bugs is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The yum-rhn-plugin package allows the Yum package manager to access content from
Red Hat Network (RHN).
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, applying automatic updates with the yum-rhn-plugin
utility on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 system could fail with an "empty
transaction" error message. This was because the cached version of
yum-rhn-plugin metadata was not up-to-date. With this update, yum-rhn-plugin
downloads new metadata if available, ensuring that all packages are available
for download. (BZ#853799)
- Red Hat Network (RHN) Proxy did not work properly if separated from a parent
by a slow network. Consequently, users who attempted to download larger repodata
files and RPM packages experienced timeouts. This update changes both RHN Proxy
and Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHN Client to allow all communications to honor a
configured timeout value for connections. (BZ#951592)
- Scheduled package installation actions failed if the package was already
installed. This caused dependent actions to fail to execute, such as
configuration deployments, which in turn lead to the failure of automated
installation using kickstart. This update ensures that a package installation
action does not fail if the package is already installed. (BZ#845241)
Users of yum-rhn-plugin are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
