RHBA-2013:0394 - PackageKit bug fix update

Synopsis

PackageKit bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The PackageKit packages provide a D-Bus abstraction layer that allows the session user to manage packages in a secure way using a cross-distribution, cross-architecture API.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the PackageKit daemon could abort with a segmentation fault when the user tried to to authenticate with PolicyKit if the "/usr/sbin/consolekit" process failed or was manually stopped. This update modifies the underlying code so that PackageKit no longer fails when unable to access ConsoleKit. Now, a console warning message is displayed for PackageKit instead. (BZ#735597)

All users of PackageKit 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
