RHBA-2015:1356 - system-config-kickstart bug fix update

Synopsis

system-config-kickstart bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated system-config-kickstart package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The system-config-kickstart package contains Kickstart Configurator, a graphical tool for creating kickstart files.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, system-config-kickstart tried to display the user manual by executing /usr/bin/htmlview even though this program did not exist, and the underlying code did not handle this situation properly. Consequently, system-config-kickstart terminated. With this update, the user manual, which was in fact outdated and not translated like the rest of the user interface, has been removed from the system-config-kickstart package, and the corresponding menu item has also been removed from the user interface. As a result, system-config-kickstart no longer terminates unexpectedly. (BZ#1022372)

Users of system-config-kickstart are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.

Solution

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