RHBA-2010:0589 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
up2date and rhnlib bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated up2date and rhnlib packages that fix a bug that caused the Red Hat
Network and Red Hat Network Satellite registration to fail when the Desktop
Management Interface (DMI) contained a control character or when the hardware
name contained a non-ASCII character is 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. The
rhnlib package contains a collection of Python modules that are used by the Red
Hat Network (RHN) software.
These updated packages fix the following bug:
- previously, the presence of the "\f" character in the Desktop Management
Interface (DMI) information or any non-ASCII character in the hardware name
rendered the system unable to register to both Red Hat Network (RHN) and Red Hat
Network Satellite Server. This error has been fixed, and the system registration
now works as expected. (BZ#619086)
Users of up2date and rhnlib are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve this issue.
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
