Severity: N/A

Details

An updated crypto-utils package that fixes a bug is now available.

The crypto-utils package provides tools for managing and generating SSL
certificates and keys.

This updated package fixes a bug in the way the certwatch utility parsed
its command line options, which in some cases would lead to certwatch
declaring a valid option, such as '-a', to be invalid. This has been fixed
so that the options are now parsed correctly.

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
