RHBA-2018:0347 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated RHUI 3 packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI) is a highly scalable, highly redundant framework that enables you to manage repositories and content. It also enables cloud providers to deliver content and updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) instances. Based on the upstream Pulp project, RHUI allows cloud providers to locally mirror Red Hat-hosted repository content, create custom repositories with their own content, and make those repositories available to a large group of end users through a load-balanced content delivery system.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The message that prints when the RHUI administrator cannot log in to rhui-manager due to a certificate verification issue has been modified to include the case where the server certificate has expired. (BZ#1415097)
• The 'rhui-manager client labels' command now prints a sorted list of labels. (BZ#1415198)
• Multiple programming bugs in the 'rhui-manager status' command have been fixed. (BZ#1507869)
• Previously, when new errata were released, Pulp failed to create a new version of the file holding errata metadata. Consequently, RHUI clients trying to use this metadata did not see any updates at all. This was especially problematic when a RHUI client used the --security option on the yum command line, in which case yum did not see security errata. With this update, a backported patch has been added to Pulp to allow it to create new versions of the errata metadata file correctly. As a result, RHUI clients are now able to take advantage of this metadata. (BZ#1534882)

Users of RHUI are advised to upgrade to these updated packages that fix these bugs.
