Topic

Updated sos packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The sos package contains a set of utilities that gather information from system hardware, logs, and configuration files. The information can then be used for diagnostic purposes and debugging.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the sosreport tool did not detect the Content Delivery Server (CDS) nodes in Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI) 3. As a consequence, the rhui-debug script was called incorrectly and did not collect the proper RHUI debug data. With this update, sosreport properly detects a CDS node by checking if the rhui-mirrorlist package is present. As a result, rhui-debug properly collects RHUI 3 data from a CDS node. (BZ#1596496)
  • Previously, when the sosreport tool tried to collect a file with certain non-ASCII characters, it failed with raising an exception. As a consequence, the current file and the subsequent files from the same plug-in were not collected. With this update, the string processing of files was improved to handle all Unicode characters. Now, even files with non-ASCII characters are collected. (BZ#1599234)

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

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
