RHBA-2010:0058 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated pirut package that fixes various bugs is now available.

Description

The pirut graphical package manager front end provides a set of graphical
tools for managing software.

This updated pirut package includes fixes for the following bugs:

• removing a package with pirut when no repositories were configured caused

pirut to exit with a Python traceback. With this update, the application
does not exit with a traceback when a package is removed in the absence of
any configured repositories. (BZ#444697)

• occasionally, a failed assertion check related to the progress bar, and

specifically to the gtk_progress_set_percentage() function, caused the
pirut package manager to exit with a traceback. This update ensures that
this assertion no longer fails, thus resolving the problem. (BZ#459489)

• after upgrading to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 release, pirut began

showing the epoch number as the first characters in the package group
details list. With this update, package lists are once again sorted
correctly. (BZ#478834)

• the "pup" graphical package manager application used an incorrectly-sized

icon. (BZ#436193)

All users of pirut are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
