RHBA-2011:1677 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The texlive-texmf packages contain a texmf distribution based upon TeXLive.
TeXLive is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX systems. TeX takes a text
file and a set of formatting commands as input and creates a printable file as
output. Usually, TeX is used in conjunction with a higher level formatting
package like LaTeX or PlainTeX.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, LaTeX did not build documents if the source file was

more than five years old. An error message appeared and requested manual
confirmation which stopped the build process. With this update, the error
message has been changed to a message stating that the source file is more than
five years old. Now, the build process completes successfully. (BZ#711344)

All users of texlive-texmf are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this bug.
