RHBA-2013:0400 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated scl-utils packages that fix multiple bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The scl-utils packages provide a runtime utility and RPM packaging macros
for packaging Software Collections. Software Collections allow users to
concurrently install multiple versions of the same RPM packages on the
system. Using the scl utility, users may enable specific versions of RPMs,
which are installed into the /opt directory.

The scl-utils packages have been upgraded to upstream version 20120927,
which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous
version. The following list includes notable bug fixes:

• The fix has been provided for a double free or corruption error when

reading commands from the standard input, which could have led to a segmentation
fault under certain circumstances.

• The /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress script now properly compresses man

pages in %_mandir.

(BZ#855999)

All users who require scl-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
