3.77. rhn-client-tools


Updated rhn-client-tools packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Red Hat Network Client Tools provide programs and libraries that allow a system to receive software updates from Red Hat Network.

Bug Fixes

BZ#1093157
Red Hat Network Client Tools did not count the CPU socket information on certain systems properly. With this update, rhn-client-tools parse the /proc/cpuinfo file correctly and thus provide the correct CPU socket information for all systems.
BZ#751294
The error logging module did not correctly determine sub-classes of YUM errors, causing such errors to throw a traceback rather than being correctly logged or reported on the command line. This update ensures that all errors are logged and reported properly by correcting the error inheritance structure.
BZ#919432
The rhn-client-tools sub-package did not correctly mark itself as conflicting with old versions of the rhn-virtualization-host package, which allowed the rhn-client-tools to be installed on the system with such an old package. As a consequence, the rhn-profile-sync utility returned an "exceptions.TypeError: refresh() takes no arguments (1 given)" traceback when it was run. With this update, the conflicting package versions are correctly marked in the rhn-client-tools spec file, which prevents installations of incompatible packages.
Users of rhn-client-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
