These are the release notes for Amazon Linux 2 version 2.0.20221210.1.
Major updates
This release includes an important security update for python3-3.7 (python3-3.7.15-1.amzn2.0.2). Unless
automatic security updates are disabled on launch, this update will be applied to new instance launches. Customers that run yum update
--security, or other yum update commands, also see this package updated on their instances. Customers who change the
/usr/bin/python3 symlink to point to another version of python3, such as python-3.8, could see their
python programs and environments experience issues as this symlink is reset to point at /usr/bin/python3.7. This is a result of
the /usr/bin/python3 symlink being owned by the python-3.7 package. Yum will overwrite any files a
package owns, unless it's configured not to. Due to other potential system and customer impacts, this symlink can't be removed from the
python3-3.7 package. To avoid issues, customer can:
-
Use
virtualenvwithpython-3.8and later versions ofpython3. -
Configure any scripts or software that requires a later version of python to directly use the correct versioned binary. For example: Change calls to
/usr/bin/python3to/usr/bin/python3.8. -
Disable automatic security updates at launch, and manually apply specific security updates.
-
Write a script to detect any changes to the
/usr/bin/python3symlink and automatically revert the change.
