RHBA-2011:0516 - yum-rhn-plugin bug fix update


Synopsis

yum-rhn-plugin bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated yum-rhn-plugin package which fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Yum-rhn-plugin allows yum to access a Red Hat Network server for software updates.

This update addresses the following issue:

  • When used in conjunction with yum 3.2.29, yum-rhn-plugin created empty and superfluous directories for every registered RHN repository in the current directory when "yum clean" was executed. Note: directories for other registered yum repositories were not created in this instance. With this update, no directories are created when "yum clean" is executed, as expected. (BZ#703586)

Yum-rhn-plugin users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

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 This content is not included.http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
