rpmlint bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rpmlint packages that fix two bugs are now available.

Description

Rpmlint is a tool for checking common errors in rpm packages. It can be used to
test individual packages and specific files before uploading or to check an
entire distribution. By default all applicable checks are processed but specific
checks can be performed by using command line parameters.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, an incorrect rule in rpmlint caused it to report a
  "missing-lsb-keyword Default-Stop" error message for services that did not start
  by default in any run level. This update corrects the rule in rpmlint, and
  error messages no longer occur in the described scenario. (BZ#663082)
  
• When a package had a UTF-8 encoding error in the description, or the
  description was encoded in a different character set, then rpmlint terminated
  unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. With this update, rmplint returns an
  error message that the description has incorrectly encoded UTF-8 data
  (tag-not-utf8 error), and crashes no longer occur in the described scenario.
  (BZ#958038)
  

Users of rpmlint are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
