Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated gpxe packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.
Description
The gpxe packages provide gPXE, an open source Preboot Execution Environment
(PXE) implementation and bootloader.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The gpxe-roms-qemu runs the update-alternatives utility during installation;
however, the chkconfig package, which provides the utility, was previously not
required by gpxe-roms-qemu. 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 gpxe-roms-qemu. (BZ#714882)
All users of gpxe 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.
