Topic

An updated strace package that fixes a bug is now available.

Description

The strace program intercepts and records the system calls called and
received by a running process. It can print a record of each system call,
its arguments and its return value.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • when detaching from a process, a misinterpreted status caused strace to

always leave the process being traced in a stopped state. With this update,
the process is left in the correct state after detaching. (BZ#600297)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated strace package, which resolves
this issue.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
