RHBA-2012:0562 - subscription-manager bug fix update

Synopsis

subscription-manager bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated subscription-manager packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The subscription-manager packages provide programs and libraries to allow users to manage subscriptions and yum repositories from the Red Hat Entitlement platform.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the subscription-manager utility could incorrectly delete a product certificate when running the yum utility and no yum repositories were enabled or in use (for example on newly installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 systems). To prevent undesirable deletions of product certificates, subscription-manager now performs a verification check before deleting a certificate. In addition, all deletions of product certificates are now logged. (BZ#812446)

All users of subscription-manager are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

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 https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
