From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 Epiphany/1.0 Description of problem: While IBMJava2-[JS]DK have been updated on RHN to 1.3.1-8 on AS 2.1, they haven't been updated on ES 2.1, they are still 1.3.1-5. This is a serious problem as a memory leak in -5 will cause WAF(/CCM) to run out of memory in a couple of days. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): IBMJava2-SDK-1.3.1-5 IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "up2date IBMJava2-SDK" on a RHEL ES 2.1 box Actual Results: It gets IBMJava2-SDK-1.3.1-5 Expected Results: It should get IBMJava2-SDK-1.3.1-8 instead. Additional info:
Indeed, this appears to be a case of something not making it into the right place in RHN. The correct versions of the packages are present in the composed U3 trees. Changing ownership to John Flanagan, as he's the release engineer that handles RHEL2.1.
The updates were included in U3 but the RHBA-2003-248 was missing the WS and ES packages. Now fixed and reissued: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2003-248.html
