Synopsis

bltk bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated bltk package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The bltk (Battery Life Tool Kit) package includes binaries and scripts to test
battery life.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the bltk tree was corrupted. As a result, the

bltk_report script failed. This update modifies the settings of the bltk root
path. Now, the report script works as expected. (BZ#618308)

• Prior to this update, bltk could be installed without requiring the gnuplot

binary. As a result, the bltk_plot script exited with an error message when the
gnuplot package was not installed and the charts were shown from measured data.
This update requires the gnuplot package for its installation. Now, the
bltk_plot script no longer exits with an error. (BZ#679028)

All bltk users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these
bugs.

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
