Description

When the user performed an on-prem installation of Exasol on a RHEL system using c4, c4 would perform a host OS update, upgrading the entire system with all its packages.

This was an unintended behavior as it’s not c4’s responsibility to do that and that behavior was also not properly communicated in the docs.

Workaround

There is no workaround.

Fix

This has been fixed now and c4 no longer does any OS updates.
