RHBA-2008:0786 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
words bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated words package that fixes two spelling bugs is now available.
Description
The words file is a listing of English words for the /usr/share/dict
directory. Some programs use this database of words to check spelling.
Password checkers use it to look for bad passwords.
This package corrects the following typos:
- The words dictionary contained two misspelled words: "architecure" and
"flourescent". This updated package removes both mis-spellings. (Please
note: the correct spellings of each word -- "architecture" and
"fluorescent" -- were extant in the dictionary. This update simply removes
the misspellings.)
Users of words should upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these
typos.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
