Topic

An updated yum-metadata-parser package that fixes a bug is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The yum-metadata-parser package provides a fast metadata parser for Yum
implemented in C.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to an error in the conversion of SQLite data for large packages, an

attempt to install a package larger than 2GB caused Yum to incorrectly represent
the package size as a negative number. This update ensures that
yum-metadata-parser converts all data to SQLite correctly, and package sizes are
now always represented as expected. (BZ#612409)

All users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves 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
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
