Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2005-06-09
Last updated on: 2005-06-09

Details

An updated procps package that fixes a bug is now available.

The procps package contains a set of system utilities that provide system
information. The procps package includes ps, free, skill, snice, tload,
top, uptime, vmstat, w, and watch.

Previously, the pmap command truncated paths of mapped files. This has been
fixed.

All users of procps should upgrade to this updated 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.
