RHBA-2011:0719 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated fakechroot packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The fakechroot utility allows a user to run programs in an environment that
enables the use of the chroot command without the need for root privileges.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the fakechroot packages were marked as multilib, which

allowed users to install these packages for multiple architectures at the same
time. However, this feature is not fully supported by fakechroot. Since the
32-bit version of is not actually needed, this update adds the "ExclusiveArch:
x86-64" tag to the RPM spec file, so that the fakechroot packages are now
available only for the 64-bit x86 architecture. (BZ#598451)

All users of fakechroot are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix 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
