Topic

Updated glibc packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

The GNU libc (glibc) packages contain the standard C libraries used by
applications.

These updated packages fix the following bugs:

  • a deadlock in the dynamic linker caused PulseAudio to hang. This issue

may affect other threaded programs making calls through the Procedure
Linkage Table (PLT), particularly OpenOffice.org. The deadlock has been
resolved in these updated packages.

  • it was not possible to install glibc (i686) on Itanium architectures,

that had the /usr directory on a separate partition from the / directory.
The following error occurred:

/usr/sbin/iconvconfig: cannot generate output file: Invalid cross-device
link
/usr/sbin/glibc_post_upgrade: While trying to execute
/usr/sbin/iconvconfig.i686
child exited with exit code 1
error: %post(glibc-2.5-18.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

In these updated packages glibc can be installed on Itanium architectures,
which have the /usr directory on a separate partition.

  • a problem in nis_list caused certain Pluggable Authentication Modules

(PAM) modules to fail to find Network Information Service Plus (NIS+)
tables. This issue has been resolved in these updated packages.

All glibc users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.

Solution

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
