RHBA-2013:0056 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated etherboot packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The etherboot packages provide an open-source network bootloader. Etherboot
replaces the proprietary Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) ROMs. It also
provides additional features, such as DNS, HTTP and iSCSI.

This update fixes the following bug:

• The etherboot-zroms-kvm package runs the update-alternatives utility during

installation; however, the chkconfig package which provides the utility was
previously not required by etherboot-zroms-kvm. As a consequence, the
installation could fail with a "No such file or directory" error message. The
chkconfig package has been added as a dependency to ensure successful
installation of etherboot-zroms-kvm. (BZ#714880)

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