RHBA-2010:0278 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated pcsc-lite package that fixes a bug in the source RPM is now
available.

Description

pcsc-lite is a daemon which controls access to smart cards and other
security tokens on your system.

This update addresses the following issue:

• the .spec file for the pcsc-lite source rpm contained an error in its

Release field. The {dist} tag was not appended to the Release value as a
conditional. It was "{dist}" where it should have been "{?dist}". The
question mark translates to "If %{dist} is defined, insert its value here.
If not, do nothing." Without the question mark, the tag means "dist" is
defined and insert its value here. Consequently, if the source rpm was
re-built in an environment where the dist variable was not set, the
resultant .rpm file contained garbage characters in its file name. This
release corrects this. The tag is now a conditional and rebuilding
pcse-lite from the source rpm produces an rpm file with the expected file
name. (BZ#440627)

Only users who use smart cards or security tokens who also rebuild
components such as pcsc-lite from source need to update this package.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
