RHBA-2013:1085 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
rhnlib bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated rhnlib packages that fix one bug are now available.
Description
The rhnlib packages contain Python libraries developed specifically for
interfacing with the Red Hat Network.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The RHN Proxy did not work properly if separated from a parent by a slow
enough network. Consequently, users who attempted to download larger repodata
files and RPMs experienced timeouts. This update changes both RHN Proxy and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux RHN Client to allow all communications to obey a configured
timeout value for connections. (BZ#949650)
Users of rhnlib 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.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
