RHBA-2003:250 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Pstack bugfix errata
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated version of the pstack package has been made available which
fixes several bugs.
Description
Problems in the pstack program have been discovered that could crash or
produce incorrect output in some cases. These problems have been fixed.
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.
