RHBA-2010:0761 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rhncfg and rhn-virtualization packages that fix two bugs are now
available.

Description

Red Hat Network Client Tools provide programs and libraries that allow your
system to receive software updates from Red Hat Network (RHN).

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Due to incorrect timing, a temporary file creation may have failed, preventing

the configuration file from being deployed. This error has been fixed, and
temporary files are now always created as expected. (BZ#552757)

• Previously, after migrating a Xen guest domain to KVM using Red Hat Enterprise

Virtualization Manager, the following error may have occurred:

While running 'registration.virt_notify': caught exceptions.KeyError :
'Unknown'

This was caused by the use of invalid machine state, "Unknown". With this
update, the incorrect state has been changed to "nostate". (BZ#591609)

All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these
issues.

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
