1.218.1. RHBA-2010:0850: bug fix update

An updated python-gudev package that fixes a bug is now available.
Python-gudev is one of the core components for Red Hat Network (RHN) registration process.
This updated python-gudev package fixes the following bug:
  • Under some circumstances, using the 'rhn_register' command to register a system with the Red Hat Network (RHN) might fail. When this issue is encountered, the 'rhn_register' command will return an error similar to:
    # rhn_register
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    
    or
    # rhn_register
    ***MEMORY-ERROR***: rhn_register[11525]: GSlice: assertion failed:
    sinfo->n_allocated > 0
    Aborted (core dumped)
    
    With this update, the aforementioned errors are no longer returned and using the 'rhn_register' command works as expected. (BZ#637084)
All users of python-gudev are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
