RHBA-2013:1614 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated hsqldb packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The hsqldb packages provide a relational database management system written in
Java. The Hyper Structured Query Language Database (HSQLDB) contains a JDBC
driver to support a subset of ANSI-92 SQL.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the /etc/sysconfig/hsqldb file was not marked as

"config(noreplace)". Consequently, reinstallation or update of the packages
could overwrite changes to the configuration made by the user. With this update,
the configuration file has been marked correctly, and modifications to the file
are preserved during reinstallation or update. (BZ#996152)

• Prior to this update, the hsqldb database depended on java packages of version

1:1.6.0 or later, which are unavailable on some Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
platforms. As a consequence, installing the hsqldb packages failed with an error
message. With this update, java packages of version 0:1.5.0 or later are
required, and the installation of hsqldb now proceeds correctly as expected.
(BZ#962676)

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

Solution

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