Summary
Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory: redhat-upgrade-tool bug fix update

Notes

Topic
An updated redhat-upgrade-tool package that fixes several bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Details
The Red Hat Upgrade Tool is used for performing an in-place upgrade of your current system to the next major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It determines what packages are needed for the upgrade and gathers them from the source or sources given. It also fetches and sets up the boot images needed to run the upgrade and sets up the system to perform the upgrade on the next system boot. Running the Red Hat Upgrade Tool requires running the Preupgrade Assistant as a prerequisite. This update fixes the following bugs: * Previously, the Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) repository setup did not correctly specify the appropriate URLs. As a consequence, preupgrade-assistant postupgrade scripts could not use the Yum utility, and an error message was displayed. With this update, the "skip_if_unavailable" option has been set to "True" for all generated repository files, and the errors no longer occur. (BZ#1106401) * Previously, using the "--addrepo" option with an incorrect argument returned a confusing error message that no upgrade was available from the repository. As a consequence, it was not clear whether the specified URL was incorrect or there was no upgrade available from the repository. This update improves the error message which now suggests checking if the specified URL is correct. (BZ#1084985) * After an upgrade, when one of the postupgrade scripts attempted to downgrade several packages, downgrade failed because of errors downloading the GPG keys. This bug has been fixed by specifying that the postupgrade scripts use the same GPG keys as the Red Hat Upgrade Tool. As a result, postupgrade scripts downgrade the selected packages successfully. (BZ#1115532) * Previously, the Red Hat Upgrade Tool did not perform a check whether the repositories the system is being upgraded to are signed by Red Hat. This update adds a check to the Red Hat Upgrade Tool which checks the repository signatures and fails the upgrade if the packages are not signed by Red Hat. (BZ#1123915) * Previously, running the redhat-upgrade-tool command with the "--clean" option could fail because the Red Hat Upgrade Tool did not check for the existence of the /var/lib/systemd file. This bug has been fixed and the "redhat-upgrade-tool --clean" command now executes successfully. (BZ#1128162) * Previously, after an upgrade, the Red Hat Upgrade Tool did not disable the Yum repositories for the old system. This bug has been fixed and now Red Hat Upgrade Tool correctly disables all old repositories excluding the /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat-upgrade-* repositories. (BZ#1130686) * Previously, certain packages handled by the Preupgrade Assistant utility and consequently by the Red Hat Upgrade Tool had broken upgrade paths. As a consequence, these packages were not upgraded during system assessment. This update fixes the upgrade paths and the correct files are now downloaded and installed by both tools. (BZ#1138615) * Previously, when performing an upgrade over the network, if there was a network timeout error when downloading the .treeinfo file, the Red Hat Upgrade Tool exited with a traceback error. After this update, if there is a network timeout, the Red Hat Upgrade Tool returns a "Downloading failed" error and does not produce a traceback error. (BZ#1076120) Users of redhat-upgrade-tool are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
