Topic
Updated util-linux packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
The util-linux package contains a collection of basic system utilities.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- the "mount -f" command does not work with NFS-mounted filesystem.
- the sfdisk command does not support DM-MP devices.
- the 32-bit version of the ipcs command does not print correct values when
run on the 64-bit kernel.
- the src.rpm does not build correctly.
- the losetup command does not support the "-r" option to create a
read-only loop device.
- the package does not work correctly with translation files (locales).
All users of util-linux should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
