B.77. python-gudev
An updated python-gudev package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Python-gudev is one of the core components for Red Hat Network (RHN) registration process.
Bug Fix
- BZ#637084
- 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.
All users of python-gudev are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
