RHBA-2009:1429 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated lam package that corrects an upgrade problem with previous lam
packages is available.

Description

LAM/MPI is a high quality implementation of the Message Passing Interface
(MPI) Standard. LAM/MPI provides high performance on a variety of
platforms, from small off-the-shelf single CPU clusters to large SMP
machines with high speed networks, even in heterogeneous environments. In
addition to high performance, LAM provides a number of usability features
key to developing large-scale MPI applications.

These updated lam packages fix the following bug:

• %post scripts in the lam.spec file caused some unattended upgrades from

older versions of this package to fail. These scripts have been edited to
ensure upgrades will now proceed without manual intervention. (BZ#467676)

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated lam packages, which resolve
this issue.
