RHBA-2011:0399 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated dejagnu package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

DejaGnu is an Expect/Tcl based framework for testing other programs, and
provides a single front end for all tests.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the runtest utility did not reset variables before

running a test, causing certain test cases to be incorrectly evaluated as
"UNRESOLVED". This update ensures that the variables are properly reset before a
test is run, and all test cases are now evaluated correctly. (BZ#460153)

All users of dejagnu are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug.

Solution

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

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