Topic

An updated yum-rhn-plugin package which fixes a bug is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Yum-rhn-plugin allows yum to access a Red Hat Network server for software
updates.

This update addresses the following issue:

  • When used in conjunction with yum 3.2.29, yum-rhn-plugin created empty

and superfluous directories for every registered RHN repository in the
current directory when "yum clean" was executed. Note: directories for
other registered yum repositories were not created in this instance. With
this update, no directories are created when "yum clean" is executed, as
expected. (BZ#703586)

Yum-rhn-plugin users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves 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
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
