yum-updatesd bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated yum-updatesd package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The yum-updatesd package provides notification of updates which are available to
be applied to the system. This notification can be done either via syslog, email
or over the D-BUS communication system.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, after calling the doSetup routine the yum-updatesd daemon was
  losing the contents of the "ident" variable. Consequently, the data sent to
  syslog could not be identified properly in the /var/log/messages file. This
  update modifies the "ident" variable to preserve as expected and information in
  syslog messages in the /var/log/messages file is correct. (BZ#563494)
  
• Due to a misprint, email notifications about available updates contained the
  word "packets" instead of "packages". This update corrects the spelling.
  (BZ#597431)
  

All users of the yum-updatesd are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes these bugs.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
