RHBA-2013:1326 - rhnlib bug fix update

Synopsis

rhnlib bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rhnlib package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The rhnlib package consists of a collection of Python modules used by the Red Hat Network (RHN) software.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Red Hat Network (RHN) Proxy did not work properly if separated from a parent by a slow network. Consequently, users who attempted to download larger repodata files and RPM packages experienced timeouts. This update changes both RHN Proxy and Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHN Client to allow all communications to honor a configured timeout value for connections. (BZ#951590)

Users of rhnlib are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
