Details

Updated coreutils packages that fix several bugs are now available.

The coreutils package contains core GNU utilities. It is the combination
of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.

The hostid(1) command no longer sign-extends on 64-bit platforms. An
erroneous SELinux warning message has been removed from cp(1). The
'multiple' keyword has been removed from the su(1) PAM configuration file.
An issue with the PAM support in su(1) was fixed.

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
