Details

An updated ia32el package that fixes several bugs is now available.

The ia32el package contains the IA-32 Execution Layer platform, which
allows emulation of IA-32 binaries on Itanium.

This updated addresses the following issues:

- Fixed execve to invoke ia32 interpreter
- Credential fixes
- IA-32 core files names determined by system demands (/proc)
- Fixed a bug caused ibm-jvm to fail
- Other minor bug fixes

Refer to the package release notes for detailed erratum information.

All users of ia32el should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues.


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.
