RHBA-2009:1608 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated libXrandr package that fixes a dependency bug is now available.

Description

libXrandr is the runtime library for the X11 RandR extension.

This update addresses the following issue:

• the libXrandr-devel package requires libXext-devel to work but the

package's spec file was missing the necessary "Requires" line. If
libXrandr-devel was installed separately (for example, by running "yum
install libXrandr-devel") and libXext-devel was not already installed,
libXrandr-devel did not work. This dependency has been added to the spec
file with this update: installing the libXrandr-devel package now pulls
down all required dependencies, ensuring libXrandr-devel works as expected.
(BZ#498044)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated libXrandr package, which
resolves this problem.
