RHBA-2011:1271 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated perl-Net-DNS package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The perl-Net-DNS package contains a collection of Perl modules that act as a
Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the programmer to perform DNS
queries that are beyond the capabilities of the gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr
routines.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, perl-Net-DNS lacked a complete IPv6 functionality. This

update adds the dependencies related to IPv6 and, in addition, prevents the
possibility of interactive (re)build. (BZ#688211)

All users of perl-Net-DNS should 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
