RHBA-2012:1145 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated pm-utils packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The pm-utils packages contain a set of utilities and scripts for tasks related
to power management.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the pm-utils set listed files without listing the

directories for those files. As a consequnce, pm-utils only created but did not
own the directories "/usr/lib/pm-utils/bin", "/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d," and
"/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d". This update modifies pm-utils so that all
directories are correctly listed in the package. Now, pm-utils owns the created
directories. (BZ#481811)

• Prior to this update, the x86emu code could cause problems for certain

hardware. As a consequence, systems that used NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 video cards
and the nv driver did not correctly resume after suspending the system. This
update modifies the x86emu code so that all systems resume as expected.
(BZ#675268)

• Prior to this update, the RPM description contained wrong product names. This

update removes all wrong information. (BZ#817421)

All users of pm-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.

Solution

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