RHBA-2012:1489 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated spacewalk-proxy packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Network Proxy 5.5.

Description

Red Hat Network Proxy provides a mechanism for caching content, such as package
updates from Red Hat or custom content created for an organization on an
internal, centrally-located server.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, an attempt to download an RPM package through Red Hat

Network (RHN) Proxy 5.4.1 that had not been cached before could result in a
"File not found" error even though the package was available upstream. This was
caused by incorrect encoding and RHN Proxy sending an incorrect authentication
token to upstream, which consequently led to authentication failure. These
problems have been fixed and RHN Proxy is now able to download the RPM package
correctly in this scenario. (BZ#878096)

Users of Red Hat Network Proxy are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this bug.
