Synopsis
python-urlgrabber bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated python-urlgrabber package that fixes various bugs and adds an
enhancement is now available.
Description
python-urlgrabber is a tool and API to allow data to be downloaded via
URLs. Yellowdog updater modified (yum) is the most significant user of
python-urlgrabber. Yum is a utility that can check for and automatically
download and install updated RPM packages.
This updated package re-bases python-urlgrabber to version 3.1.0-5. This
applies several bug fixes from upstream, including:
- the keepalive signal of python-urlgrabber is now fixed. Previously, a bug
in this signal incorrectly increased memory usage during downloads; in
addition, this bug prevented "reposync" and "yumdownloader" from performing
properly when downloading a large number of packages.
- yum was unable to continue interrupted downloads if the server did not
support partial downloads. In this update, yum can correctly re-download
from repositories that do not support partial downloads.
- yum can now resume an interrupted download even if the yum repository is
FTP-based with a specified port.
Also, the size of progress bars are now dynamic to the terminal width. In
addition, progress bars are now cleaner, and display a percentage of the
total downloaded data.
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues and adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
