RHEA-2003:230 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
Updated tcsh packages available
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
Updated tcsh packages are available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. These
updates provide a version of tcsh compiled with support for large files.
Description
The tcsh shell is an enhanced shell compatible with csh (the C shell.)
When performing globbing operations, tcsh was unable to recognize files
larger than 4,294,967,295 bytes in size on some architectures.
Users of tcsh that require the ability to access large files should install
the erratum package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
