RHBA-2009:0138 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
booty bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated booty package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The booty package contains a python library which provides an interface for
the creation of boot loader configuration files and the addition of stanzas
to said configuration files. These boot loader configuration files are used
by the anaconda installer.
- on Itanium architectures, booty would crash at the end of installation if
the root file system was on an encrypted block device. With this updated
package, booty now correctly identifies if the root file system is
encrypted, which resolves this issue.
Users of booty are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
