RHBA-2012:0416 - chkconfig bug fix update

Synopsis

chkconfig bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated chkconfig packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The basic system utility chkconfig updates and queries runlevel information for system services.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • When installing multiple Linux Standard Base (LSB) services which only had LSB headers, the stop priority of the related LSB init scripts could have been miscalculated and set to "-1". With this update, the LSB init script ordering mechanism has been fixed, and the stop priority of the LSB init scripts is now set correctly. (BZ#797844)

  • When an LSB init script requiring the "$local_fs" facility was installed with the "install_initd" command, the installation of the script could fail under certain circumstances. With this update, the underlying code has been modified to ignore this requirement because the "$local_fs" facility is always implicitly provided. LSB init scripts with requirements on "$local_fs" are now installed correctly. (BZ#797843)

All users of chkconfig 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 This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
