Updated chkconfig packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The basic system utility chkconfig updates and queries runlevel information for system services.

Bug Fixes

BZ#797847
When installing multiple Linux Standard Base (LSB) services which only had LSB headers, the stop priority of the related LSB init scripts could have been miscalculated and set to "-1". With this update, the LSB init script ordering mechanism has been fixed, and the stop priority of the LSB init scripts is now set correctly.
BZ#797846
When an LSB init script requiring the "$local_fs" facility was installed with the "install_initd" command, the installation of the script could fail under certain circumstances. With this update, the underlying code has been modified to ignore this requirement because the "$local_fs" facility is always implicitly provided. LSB init scripts with requirements on "$local_fs" are now installed correctly.
All users of chkconfig are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
