Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated pykickstart package that fixes one bug and adds one enhancement is
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The pykickstart package is a python library used to manipulate kickstart files.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, only the first group listed for removal was processed,
and only if it was the last line in the %packages section when the group removal
syntax was added. With this update, a list of all excluded groups is preserved.
Now, all marked package groups are removed, not only the last group. (BZ#577334)
This update also adds the following enhancement:
- By default, anaconda opens a hole in the firewall to allow for Secure Shell
(SSH). With this update, the option --no-ssh to the firewall command allows the
user to disable this kickstart setting. (BZ#681944)
All pykickstart users are advised upgrade to this updated package, which fix
this bug and adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
