RHBA-2013:1354 - Bug Fix Advisory

标题

Updated anaconda packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

描述

The anaconda packages contain portions of the Anaconda installation program that
can be run by the user for reconfiguration and advanced installation options.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the lvm tool on cciss devices returned the list of PV (Physical

Volume) paths delimited by exclamation marks while Anaconda expects the list to
use the slash signs as the delimiter. Consequently, in some cases, lvm
installation failed on cciss devices. The PV path list now uses the slash sign
as the delimiter. As a result, lvm installation on cciss devices succeeds.
(BZ#751351)

• The previous code function relied on the user having interface available in a

corner case, that is more than 15 partitions on a disk. When a system was
installed to a machine with a disk of more than 15 partitions, Anaconda
terminated unexpectedly with a traceback. The method has been edited to first
check whether the user interface is available and then log the message. As a
result, installation on a machine with a disk of more than 15 partitions now
works as expected. (BZ#767260)

• Previously, Anaconda completely ignored the lines in the /etc/fstab file that

had the "noauto" mount option specified. Consequently, such lines were removed
when upgrading the system. This update ensures that lines containing "noauto"
are stored when parsing the /etc/fstab file and are written out to the new
/etc/fstab file on upgrade. (BZ#873644)

• Previously, some translations, for example for NFS repository setup dialog

window, were incomplete. Consequently, NFS repository setup dialog window in
Russian locale contained incorrect translations. Incorrect translations have
been fixed by updating the list of strings for translations and by adding
missing Russian translations for the updated list. The NFS repository setup is
now translated correctly for Russian. (BZ#907574)

• When Red Hat Enterprise Linux with the authconfig package specified in the

packages lists was installed, authconfig, including the /etc/shadow file, was
not installed. The authconfig package has been added to the packages list and is
now successfully installed. (BZ#908959)

• Due to a regression, Anaconda detected the incorrect architecture value when

checking for packages required for installation. Consequently, packages
mandatory for installation were not installed. To fix this bug,
the arch.getBaseArch() function is now used instead of arch.canonArch(), which
returns the correct architecture value to Anaconda. As a result, packages
required for installation are now installed, even if they are marked for
exclusion in kickstart. (BZ#908959)

Users of anaconda are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
