RHBA-2016:2958 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated Satellite 6.2 packages that fix several bugs and add two enhancements are now available.

Description

Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard operating environments.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Synchronizing a repository with a large number of RPMs would consume a disproportionate amount of memory. The indexing process has been improved to not consume as much memory. (BZ#1399294)
• Synchronizing a single repository to a capsule was checking all repositories, causing the task to take longer than expected. This process has been optimized to only check the repository being synced. (BZ#1391704, BZ#1398438)
• When a manifest changes for a tag and the repo is synced, existing tag relations incorrectly point to this new manifest. The existing tag relations are now preserved. (BZ#1394313)
• Upgrading to 6.2.5 failed with a db migration for customers with certain counter data in the database. (BZ#1404436)

Users of Red Hat Satellite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
