Bug Fix Advisory Updated SANE packages fix problem with shared libraries

Advisory: RHBA-2004:043-01
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2004-03-01
Last updated on: 2004-03-01
Affected Products: Red Hat Linux 9
OVAL: N/A

Details

Updated SANE packages that fix a shared library problem are now available.

SANE is a package for using document scanners.

A recent change in the way that the dynamic loader searches for shared
libraries has exposed a problem with the SANE 'backend' shared libraries.
This problem may result in scanners not being recognized as available by SANE.

Users of SANE should upgrade to these erratum packages, which resolve 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.

If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL Certificate
Errors, you need to install a version of the up2date client with an updated
certificate. The latest version of up2date is available from the Red Hat
FTP site and may also be downloaded directly from the RHN website:
