RHBA-2011:0441 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gnome-vfs2 packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The gnome-vfs2 packages provide the GNOME virtual file system (GNOME VFS) which
is the foundation of the Nautilus file manager.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the ImageMagick tool set closed unexpectedly with a segmentation

fault after successful conversion during exit due to an incompatibility with the
atexit handler when unloading librsvg. This update uses
__attribute__((destructor)) instead of atexit(). Now, ImageMagick no longer
closes unexpectedly after successful conversion. (BZ#472253)

• When using the GNOME desktop with an ext4 file system, moving a file located

on the ext4 file system did not result in the file being correctly moved to the
Trash. This update corrects the VFS code so that moving files to the Trash
succeeds as expected on ext4 file systems. (BZ#594836)

All gnome-vfs2 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
