RHBA-2010:0846 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
yum bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated yum package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
Yum is a utility that can check for and automatically download and install
updated RPM packages. Dependencies are obtained and downloaded automatically,
prompting the user for permission as necessary.
This updated yum package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- Previously, yum treated packages that provide kernel-modules as install-only
packages. With this update, the install-only option has been removed.
(BZ#634974)
- Previously, the "/var/cache/yum/" directory kept accumulating multiple
'.sqlite' files and never cleaned them out. With this update, the '.sqlite' are
automatically cleaned up. (BZ#637086)
All users of yum 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.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
Network to apply this update are available at
