Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Screenshot with the 'weird' italics in the errata note
Description of problem:
gpk-update-viewer partially formats the errata note in italics, this seems unintended.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-packagekit-2.28.3-3.el6
How reproducible:
It probably depends on the errata, maybe the text-area supports some markup language that incorrectly gets detected on the errata notes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open gpk-update-viewer and read some erratas
2. errata http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2012-0415.html for bug 797846 shows
this definitely
Actual results:
The notes of the errata are partially shown in italics, which looks weird.
Expected results:
No italics, just plain text.
Additional info:
Screenshot attached.

gnome-packagekit formats the descriptions assuming the context is markdown. In this case the overly technical (IMO) description is being rendered as markdown between the '*'s -- this is by design and allows the update author to bold, emphasise or add titles to the update content. In this case, it did the wrong thing, sorry.
