RHBA-2010:0850 - python-gudev bug fix update
Synopsis
python-gudev bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated python-gudev package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
Python-gudev is one of the core components for Red Hat Network (RHN) registration process.
This updated python-gudev package fixes the following bug:
- Under some circumstances, using the 'rhn_register' command to register a system with the Red Hat Network (RHN) might fail. When this issue is encountered, the 'rhn_register' command will return an error similar to:
rhn_register
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
or
rhn_register
MEMORY-ERROR: rhn_register[11525]: GSlice: assertion failed: sinfo->n_allocated > 0 Aborted (core dumped)
With this update, the aforementioned errors are no longer returned and using the 'rhn_register' command works as expected. (BZ#637084)
All users of python-gudev are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
