RHBA-2013:1117 - python-urlgrabber bug fix update
Synopsis
python-urlgrabber bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated python-urlgrabber packages that fix one bug are now available.
Description
The python-urlgrabber package provides urlgrabber, a high-level url-fetching package for the Python programming language and a corresponding utility of the same name. The urlgrabber package allows Python scripts to fetch data using the HTTP and FTP protocols, as well as from a local file system.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, a flaw in the source code resulted in a traceback error when users used the reposync command to synchronize a remote Yum repository to a local directory, when the utime() system call had an error. This update corrects the mistake in the source code, and traceback errors no longer occur in the described scenario. (BZ#807030)
Users of python-urlgrabber are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
