Topic

Updated up2date packages that fix a bug that prevented rollbacks from
working are now available.

Description

The Red Hat Update Agent, up2date, automatically queries the Red Hat
Network servers and determines which packages need to be updated on your
machine.

This update includes the following bug fix:

  • after updating any set of packages, if a rollback (ie uninstallation of

some packages) was attempted, up2date's dependency check built a dependency
list from packages marked for both installation and removal. This resulted
in the rollback failing with a RemoveSkipListError. With this update, the
method for resolving dependencies for packages being uninstalled is only
called if the up2date transaction involves package removal only.
Consequently, rollbacks after updates now work as expected. (BZ#520122)

All up2date users should install these updated packages which addresses
this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
