1.312. yum-metadata-parser

1.312.1. RHBA-2011:0781: bug fix update

An updated yum-metadata-parser package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The yum-metadata-parser package provides a fast metadata parser for Yum implemented in C.
This update fixes the following bug:
  • Due to an error in the conversion of SQLite data for large packages, an attempt to install a package larger than 2GB caused Yum to incorrectly represent the package size as a negative number. This update ensures that yum-metadata-parser converts all data to SQLite correctly, and package sizes are now always represented as expected. (BZ#612409)
All users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
