Synopsis
zsh bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated zsh package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The zsh shell is a command interpreter which can be used as an interactive login
shell and as a shell script command processor. Zsh resembles the ksh shell (the
Korn shell), but includes many enhancements. Zsh supports command line editing,
built-in spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions
(with autoloading), a history mechanism, and more.
This updated package provides fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, zsh could fail when searching the history in vi mode. With this
update, searching the history in vi mode works as expected and the issue is
resolved. (BZ#610505)
- Previously, running zsh in ksh mode caused incorrect error messages during
syntax only check. With this update, zsh in ksh mode behaves as expected and no
more incorrect messages appear during syntax only check. (BZ#488943)
Users of zsh are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
