RHBA-2011:1194 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated spacewalk-backend packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are
now available for Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.4.

Description

Red Hat Network Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based
infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, monitoring, and remote management
of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, when a client was subscribed to several configuration channels

that contained a configuration file with the same name, the Red Hat Network
Configuration Client (rhncfg-client) failed to reflect set configuration channel
priorities. Consequently, an incorrect channel may have been listed for the
file. This update corrects this error, and configuration channel priorities are
now taken into account as expected. (BZ#700527)

As well, this update adds the following enhancement:

• The Red Hat Network Satellite Synchronization Tool (satellite-sync) now

downloads RPM packages in 4 parallel threads, making this process approximately
two times faster. (BZ#723856)

All users of Red Hat Network Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix this bug and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
