Synopsis
yum-rhn-plugin 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-rhn-plugin package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
Red Hat Network Client Tools provide programs and libraries that allow a system
to receive software updates from Red Hat Network (RHN). yum-rhn-plugin allows
yum to access a Red Hat Network server for software updates.
This updated yum-rhn-plugin package fixes the following bug:
- The rhnplugin provided by the yum-rhn-plugin package did not respect yum's
metadata_expire setting, and therefore all RHN or RHN Satellite channels used
the default expiration time of 6 hours. With this updated package, rhnplugin now
respects the relevant settings from the /etc/yum.conf configuration file,
including the metadata_expire directive. (BZ#681137)
All users of yum-rhn-plugin are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
