RHBA-2013:0016 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated libtdb packages that fix multiple bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The libtdb packages provide a library that implements the Trivial Database
(TDB). TDB is based on the GNU dbm (GDBM) library of database functions but uses
internal locking to allow multiple simultaneous writers.

The libtdb packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.2.10, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#837865)

This update also fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, several names and file paths of binaries and manual

pages in the tdb-tools package were in conflict with binaries and manual pages
that are shipped in the samba package. With this update, these files have been
renamed to avoid conflicts. (BZ#736112)

All users of libtdb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
