4.92. rhnlib
An updated rhnlib package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The rhnlib package consists of a collection of Python modules used by the Red Hat Network (RHN) software.
Bug Fix
- BZ#951590
- 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.
Users of rhnlib are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
