Topic

An updated coreutils package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The coreutils package contains the core GNU utilities. It is the combination of
the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • An incomplete fix for behavior of the "mv --backup" command, that was released

with the RHBA-2011:1074 errata advisory, caused the "cp --backup" command to
work incorrectly. When used with a directory as a source argument, the "cp

  • -backup" command did not backup individual files within the directory but whole

directory. This update corrects the problem and the "--backup" feature of the
"cp" utility now works as intended again. (BZ#803356)

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

Solution

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

This update is available via 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
