Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated xdg-utils package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The xdg-utils package is a set of simple scripts that provide basic desktop
integration functions for any Free Desktop.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, a trailing comma was passed in the "thunderbird" command. As a
result, Thunderbird was unable to open a compose window. With this update, the
trailing comma has been stripped so that Thunderbird now works properly.
(BZ#659782)
- Previously, there was a typo found in the xdg-utils source code. As a
consequence, Thunderbird, after passing in an email address, created a compose
window without the "To:" address. With this update, the typo has been fixed so
that the "To:" address is now passed in correctly. (BZ#659786)
All xdg-utils 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
