Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated preupgrade-assistant-contents package that fixes one is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extras.
Description
The preupgrade-assistant-contents package provides a set of scripts and plug-ins that are used to assess the system before a major version upgrade. The scripts and plug-ins are managed by the preupgrade-assistant package, which provides a tool with a user interface to perform the system analysis.
This update fixes the following bug:
- If the user attempts to perform an in-place upgrade from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 running on the IBM System z architecture to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 while having the kernel-kdump package installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7, the kdump boot record is not removed. Consequently, the upgrade fails when the zipl utility is called. With this update, if kernel-kdump is installed on the system or "kdump" is detected in the /etc/zipl.conf file, the Preupgrade Assistant tool displays a warning message and instructions to avoid the described problem. (BZ#1252848)
Users of preupgrade-assistant-contents are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
