Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated yum-rhn-plugin packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The yum-rhn-plugin packages make it possible to receive content from Red Hat
Network in yum.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, yum-rhn-plugin ignored the timeout value set for yum. In some
scenarios with slow networking, this could cause yum to timeout when
communicating with Red Hat Network. Now, yum-rhnplugin abides by the timeout set
for all yum repositories. (BZ#789092)
- Previously, the check-update utility could in certain cases incorrectly return
a 0 error code if an error occurred. With this update, "1" is returned if an
error occurs. (BZ#802636)
- Prior to this update, applying automatic updates with the yum-rhn-plugin
utility on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 system could fail with an "empty
transaction" error message. This was because the cached version of
yum-rhn-plugin metadata was not up-to-date. With this update, yum-rhn-plugin
downloads new metadata if available, ensuring that all packages are available
for download. (BZ#824193)
- Previously, the messaging in yum-rhn-plugin was specific only to Red Hat
Network Classic scenarios. This update clarifies what source yum-rhn-plugin is
receiving updates from to reduce confusion. (BZ#830219)
- Prior to this update, yum-rhn-plugin did not correctly try the alternate
server URLs provided if the first option failed. This update ensures that
fail-over situations are handled correctly. (BZ#831234)
All users of yum-rhn-plugin are advised to upgrade to these updated packages
which fix these bugs.
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
