RHBA-2017:1604 - chkconfig bug fix update
Synopsis
chkconfig bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated chkconfig packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The chkconfig utility is a basic system utility that updates and queries runlevel information for system services.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, after downgrading the "alternatives" utility, it was not able to read state files it modified prior to the downgrade. This caused "alternatives" to fail after the downgrade. With this release, downgrading "alternatives" automatically adjusts the state files to ensure that they stay compatible, which prevents the described problem. (BZ#1448444)
Users of chkconfig 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.
