RHBA-2014:1479 - gnome-packagekit bug fix and update
Synopsis
gnome-packagekit bug fix and update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated gnome-packagekit packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The gnome-packagekit packages provide session applications for the PackageKit API.
This update fixes the following bugs:
-
Previously, if a search query was issued in the gnome-packagekit GUI before the list of packages in the left pane was populated, gnome-packagekit became unresponsive. With this update, gnome-packagekit has been modified so that it does not permit search queries before loading the package list. As a result, gnome-packagekit no longer hangs in the described case. (BZ#720922)
-
Prior to this update, the "Install Updates" button in the gpk-update-viewer GUI was incorrectly re-enabled when the authentication dialog started. This bug has been fixed, and the button remains disabled when the authentication dialog appears. (BZ#732796)
Users of gnome-packagekit are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
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/articles/11258
