Topic

An updated mksh package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The mksh package provides the MirBSD version of the Korn Shell, which implements
the ksh-88 programming language for both interactive and shell script use.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the mksh package did not specify all requirements for

RPM scriptlets. As a result, the requirements were not installed during the post
install setup and the scriptlets were not able to work correctly. With this
update, the bug has been fixed, and the mksh package now specifies the
requirements and installs them as expected. (BZ#712355)

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

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
