Rpm Sanity Check PASSED

This message comes from line _setupdatemessage subroutine in /scripts/cPScript/RpmUtils.pm. Basically, the check that is being run is on the operating system's update method -- up2date, yum, swup, or apt.

yum

Code:

    206     my $glibcinfo = cPScript::SafeRun::saferunallerrors( 'yum', 'info', 'glibc' ) || '';
    207     if ( $glibcinfo !~ m{ (?: Installed | Available) \s+ Packages }xmsi ) {

swup

Code:

    219     my $glibcinfo = cPScript::SafeRun::saferunallerrors( 'swup', '--list-latest' ) || '';
    220     if ( $glibcinfo !~ /^glibc-/mi ) {

up2date

Code:

    232     my $glibcinfo = cPScript::SafeRun::saferunallerrors( 'up2date', '--showall' ) || '';
    233     if ( $glibcinfo !~ /^glibc-/mi ) {

apt

Code:

    245     my $glibcinfo = cPScript::SafeRun::saferunallerrors( 'apt-get', '-s', 'glibc' ) || '';
    246     if ( $glibcinfo =~ /find package glibc/mi ) {

You can check to see which update method cPanel tags your OS as using by checking for the presence of one of the following:

/var/cpanel/useyum
/var/cpanel/useswup
/var/cpanel/useup2date
/var/cpanel/useapt

Looking at lines 206 and 207 from the yum check above, line 206 shows the command "yum info glibc" being run, while line 207 checks for the presence of "Installed Packages" or "Available Packages".

Code:

( Installed | Available) \s+ Packages

This can be read as: the string Installed or the string Available, plus 1 or more spaces, then the string Packages.

Code:

Summary: The GNU libc libraries.

Description:
 The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

Since the string is found, cPanel learns that the OS has a sane update method, and prints out the message that the sanity check has passed.
