[Spacewalk-list] Error while executing packages action: empty transaction

[Glen Collins]

Hi Andrew, 

Are you running Oracle Linux? If so, Oracle has yet to release the bash errata. My company has a call into Oracle about it to get a timeline. But nothing as of yet.

Hi, 



I just tried to apply errata ELSA-2014-1293 - Critical: bash security update to a server here which is OEL 6.5 x86_64. 



It says the errata applies to the server but when I apply it I get an empty transaction error: 



Error while executing packages action: empty transaction [[6]] 



I cannot install it using yum either – it just gives me: 



[root at svhm-linuxsoe rhn]# yum list bash 

Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security 

This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite. 

Installed Packages 

bash.x86_64 4.1.2-15.el6_4 @anaconda-OracleLinuxServer-201311252058.x86_64/6.5 



Which tells me this system cannot see the package. 



I have tried a yum clean all with no joy. It’s actually a brand new SOE build just for testing the bash bug. 



Any suggestions? 



Thanks
