Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated file packages that resolve issues recognizing OpenDocument
file formats are now available.
Description
The file command is used to identify a particular file according to the
type of data contained in the file.
The file command was not able to recognize OpenDocument file formats
including, for example, the OpenDocument Text (.odt), OpenDocument
Spreadsheet (.ods) and OpenDocument Text Template (.ott) formats. The file
utility has been updated so that it is now able to recognize all
OpenDocument file formats.
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported fixes to correct these issues.
