RHBA-2013:0858 - Bug Fix Advisory

Synopsis

coreutils bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The coreutils package contains the core GNU utilities. It is a combination of
the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • When parsing the file content and the end of a field was specified using the

obsolete key formats (+POS -POS), the sort utility determined the end of the
field incorrectly, and therefore produced incorrect output. This update fixes
the parsing logic to match the usage of the "-k" option when using these
obsolete key formats. The sort utility now returns expected results in this
situation. (#963327)

Users of coreutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

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

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
