Topic

Updated perl-Socket6 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

This module supports the getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() functions to intend to
enable protocol independent programing. If the user's environment supports IPv6,
IPv6 related defines such as AF_INET6 are included.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • When invoking a manual page for Socket6, no manual page was found. The build

script has been fixed to convert POD (Plain Old Documentation) to manual pages.
As a result, the "man Socket6" command correctly shows the Socket6(3) manual
page for the Socket6 Perl module as expected. (BZ#953873)

Users of perl-Socket6 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
