Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated system-config-kickstart package that fixes one bug is now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The system-config-kickstart package contains the Kickstart Configurator, a
graphical tool for creating kickstart files.
This updated package fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update,system-config-kickstart did not handle IOError
(Input/output error) exceptions when trying to read the file given on the
command line. Due to this behavior, system-config-kickstart terminated
unexpectedly when it was started from the command line with a non-existing file.
This update allows IOError exceptions. Now, an error dialog is displayed if an
IOError occurs. (BZ#431950)
All system-config-kickstart users are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which fixes this bug.
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
