RHBA-2012:0988 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated libservicelog packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libservicelog packages provide a library for logging service-related events
to the servicelog database, and a number of command-line utilities for viewing
the contents of the database.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the "servicelog_manage --truncate" command cleared only

the "events" table. As a consequence, the other tables were not deleted. This
update modifies the option "servicelog_event_delete()" function so that all rows
in all tables associated with a deleted event are correctly deleted. Now, the
tables for "callouts", "os", "rtas", "enclosure" and "repair_actions" are
cleared together with the "events" table. (BZ#814171)

All users of libservicelog are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
