Topic

Updated yum-rhn-plugin packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The yum-rhn-plugin packages allow the Yum package manager to access content from
Red Hat Network.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, an attempt to install an already-installed package led

to an empty transaction that was incorrectly identified as an error.
Consequently, the yum-rhn-plugin reported a failed installation action. With
this update, yum-rhn-plugin has been modified to return a success code for empty
transactions. As a result, a successful installation action is now reported when
the package is already installed. (BZ#960524, BZ#988895)

Users of yum-rhn-plugin 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
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
