system-config-date bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated system-config-date package that fixes one bug is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The system-config-date package provides a graphical interface for changing the
system date and time, configuring the system time zone, and setting up the NTP
daemon to synchronize the time of the system with an NTP time server.

This update fixes the following bug:

• When using unsupported locale settings during system installation, the
  firstboot utility previously failed with a stack trace after the initial phase
  of installation. Consequently, the user was not able to configure peripherals,
  users, kdump, and other settings. With this update, the underlying code has been
  modified to catch exceptions caused by incorrect locale values and firstboot now
  warns the users to change their locale instead of failing. (BZ#760977)
  

Users of system-config-date are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes 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 use the Red
