RHBA-2009:1112 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated isdn4k-utils packages that resolve several issues are now available.

Description

The isdn4k-utils packages contain a collection of utilities needed for
configuring an ISDN subsystem.

These updated isdn4k-utils packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

• the init scripts for the "capi" and "isdn" programs sometimes exited with

incorrect or invalid exit statuses. These init scripts have been updated
for compliance with Linux Standard Base (LSB) guidelines. The "capi" and
"isdn" programs now exit with exit status 5 (program is not installed) or 6
(program is not configured), as appropriate. The improved init scripts also
check for correct privileges and exit with exit status 4 (user has
insufficient privileges) when appropriate. (BZ#237831)

• the isdn4k-utils packages contained spurious CVS files; they have been

removed in these updated packages. (BZ#481569)

• the divaload, divalog, divalogd and ipppd executable binaries, which were

located in the /sbin directory, depend on libraries located in the /usr/lib
directory. In certain situations such as when located on a separate
partition, the /usr directory may not be mounted and available when the
executables are called. For this reason, divaload, divalog, divalogd and
ipppd have all been moved to the /usr/sbin directory, which solves this
potential problem. (BZ#503910)

All users of isdn4k-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.
