RHBA-2009:1356 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
rhnsd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated rhnsd package that fixes several bugs is now available.
Description
rhnsd runs periodically to access a Red Hat Network server for software
updates.
This updated package applies fixes for the following bugs:
- the rhnsd init script returned incorrect error codes and sometimes
prevented correct status command calls. The init script has been updated
so that it returns appropriate error messages, and the status command
call error no longer presents. (BZ#243699)
- if a user's system was not registered on the Red Hat Network, the rhnsd
postuninstall script would fail when attempting to upgrade from Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.3 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4. As a result, the
rhnsd update would fail. This updated package contains a workaround. To
update the rhnsd package correctly, first uninstall the old version of
rhnsd, and then install the new version. The postuninstall script will then
work as expected. (BZ#503719)
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated rhnsd package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
