Synopsis
system-config-kickstart bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated system-config-kickstart package that fixes multiple bugs is now
available.
Description
The system-config-kickstart package contains Kickstart Configurator, a
graphical tool for creating kickstart files.
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
- the list of timezones provided by system-config-kickstart was not the
same as that provided by other system utilities, which resulted in some
situations where valid timezones were not allowed.
- the desktop menu option was pointing at an incorrect location for the
system-config-kickstart program. This meant that the program was only ever
runnable from a command line, not the desktop menu.
- the compiled Python files were being removed from the preuninstall
scriptlet. This had the side effect of making "rpm -V
system-config-kickstart" not work after upgrading the package.
Users of system-config-kickstart 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.
