RHBA-2013:0558 - rpm bug fix update

Synopsis

rpm bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rpm packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a command-line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, when updating packages with the rpm or yum utilities, users experienced multiple failures and the failed packages were removed from the system entirely. With this update, the rpm and yum utilities can handle multiple failures during updates without unexpected package removals. (BZ#906019)

Users of rpm 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
