Details

Updated acl packages that fix a bug are now available.

Access Control Lists (ACL) are used to define finer-grained discretionary
access rights for files and directories. The acl packages contain the
getfacl and setfacl utilities needed for manipulating access control lists.

After generating a dump with a long file path that contained UTF8
characters using the "getfacl" command, the "setfacl --restore" command
failed to read and restore said dump file.

All acl users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this
issue.

Solution
