Synopsis
createrepo 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 createrepo package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
This package contains scripts that generate a common metadata repository from a
directory of RPM packages.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, the shebang line of the modifyrepo.py script contained
"#!/usr/bin/env python", so the system path was used to locate the Python
executable. When another version of Python was installed on the system, and
"/usr/local/python" was specified in the PATH environment variable, scripts did
not work due to Python compatibility problems. With this update, the shebang
line is modified to "#!/usr/bin/python", so that the system version of Python is
always used. (BZ#623105)
All users of createrepo are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug.
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
