Synopsis
Updated perl-DateManip package
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated perl-DateManip package that fixes a UTF-8 bug is now available.
Description
The perl-DateManip package contains a set of routines designed to make
common date/time manipulations. Operations such as comparing two times,
calculating a time a given amount of time from another, or parsing
international times are all possible.
The perl-DateManip package produced non-security related UTF-8 errors on
use. This update fixes this issue as well as other various minor problems.
All users of perl-DateManip should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
