Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The gzip packages provide the GNU gzip data compression program.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the "-h" option of the zgrep command was absent from the source
  code of the gzip utility. As a consequence, the output of running the "zgrep -h"
  command was not parsed, and the file name was printed. With this update, the
  possibility to use the short "-h" option besides the "--no-filename" option has
  been added. As a result, running the zgrep command with the "-h" option now
  prints the correct lines and suppresses the prefixing of the file names on
  output when multiple files are searched. (BZ#949820)
  
• Prior to this update, the time stamp of an archive was set by the futimesat()
  or utime() system calls when using the gzip utility. Consequently, the archived
  file had a lower time stamp than expected because only microsecond resolution
  was enabled, and a nanosecond time stamp was not provided. The underlying source
  code has been modified to attempt to use the utimensat() or futimens() system
  calls for nanosecond resolution. As a result, the archived file has exactly the
  same time stamp as the original file. (BZ#961810)
  

Users of gzip 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.

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