RHBA-2013:1703 - yum-rhn-plugin bug fix update

Synopsis

yum-rhn-plugin bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated yum-rhn-plugin packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The yum-rhn-plugin packages allow the Yum package manager to access content from Red Hat Network.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, an attempt to install an already-installed package led to an empty transaction that was incorrectly identified as an error. Consequently, the yum-rhn-plugin reported a failed installation action. With this update, yum-rhn-plugin has been modified to return a success code for empty transactions. As a result, a successful installation action is now reported when the package is already installed. (BZ#960524, BZ#988895)

Users of yum-rhn-plugin 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.
