RHBA-2013:0100 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated spice-xpi packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The spice-xpi package provides the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing
Environments (SPICE) extension for Mozilla that allows the SPICE client to be
used from a web browser.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the spice-xpi utility incorrectly assumed sole ownership

of the /usr/lib{,64}/mozilla/plugins ({_libdir}/mozilla/plugins/) directory and
all files in it. As a consequence, also files that belonged to other packages
were removed when spice-xpi was uninstalled. This update modifies the
specifications to remove only files that belong to the spice-xpi package.
(BZ#795513)

• Prior to this update, the spice-xpi packages did not compile correctly with

the xulrunner runtime environment. This update modifies the underlying code to
allow spice-xpi to compile successfully. (BZ#817470)

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