RHBA-2011:0703 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated report packages that address three bugs are now available.

Description

The report packages contain a generic problem-, bug-, incident-, and
error-reporting library, which can be configured to deliver a report to a
variety of different ticketing systems.

This update fixes the following three bugs:

• In some cases the report library failed to honor "target" options set in

the "[main]" section of /etc/report.conf (the report configuration file).
This presented as report asking for a target even when one was set in
report.conf. With this update, report honors all options set in the
configuration file, including targets set as part of the [main] section, as
expected. (BZ#624676)

• Previously, when sending files to a Strata server along with the Strata

case, the report library's Strata plug-in sent the files under their
temporary name, rather than the original. This update corrects this and
files sent to Strata servers are now sent with their original file names,
as expected. (BZ#626994)

• The report spec file did not specify ISA (Instruction Set Architecture)

specific dependencies. This could cause dependency-related problems if the
report packages were ever downgraded. With this update the spec file
includes ISA specific dependencies as required. (BZ#672647)

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
