RHBA-2011:0818 - python-rhsm bug fix update


Synopsis

python-rhsm bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated python-rhsm package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

python-rhsm is a small library for communicating with the REST interface of a Red Hat Unified Entitlement Platform. This interface is used for the management of system entitlements, certificates, and access to content.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, booting for the first time failed after a new Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installation was performed on HP DL360 Gen8. This was due to using invalid locale names, which caused a stack trace. The same problem also affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6's Subscription Manager. The problem has been fixed by using "C" as the default locale so that the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 first boot and Subscription Manager work as expected. (BZ#702403)

All users requiring python-rhsm should install this newly released package, which fixes this bug.

Solution

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