RHBA-2013:1174 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated lmbench package that fixes several bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Hardware Certification.

Description

lmbench is a series of micro benchmarks intended to measure basic operating
system and hardware system metrics. The benchmarks fall into three general
classes: bandwidth, latency, and "other".

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the lmbench package included unnecessary files which were not

needed by the Red Hat Hardware Certification Test Suite and caused conflicts
with other packages during installation. With this update, the unnecessary
content has been removed. (BZ#958448, BZ#958449)

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

Solution

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