Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated yum-rhn-plugin package that fixes two bugs and adds two enhancements is
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

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

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, provisioning virtual guests on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 did not
  properly cooperate with the Satellite implementation of the koan tool. As a
  consequence, using the rhn_check program failed if the spacewalk-koan package
  was installed on the client. With this update, spacewalk-koan has been modified
  to be compatible with rhn_check, and the described problem no longer occurs.
  (BZ#1155129)
  
• The yum-rhn-plugin package has been updated to support API changes introduced
  in the previous update of the rhn-client-tools package. (BZ#1018929)
  

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:

• With this update, the network connection error message has been enhanced to
  inform about the cause of the error. (BZ#916597)
  
• The rhnplugin.conf(5) manual page has been updated to provide the complete
  description of rhnplugin.conf configuration options. (BZ#729913)
  
• When registering Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 to Red Hat Satellite using an
  activation key configured to automatically install specific packages upon
  registration, the installation of these packages in some cases failed. This
  update fixes the underlying code, and package installations based on the
  activation key are now performed successfully. (BZ#1183989)
  

Users of fedfs-utils are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
these bugs and adds this enhancement.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
