RHBA-2008:0065 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
gzip bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated gzip package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The gzip package contains the GNU gzip data compression program. Gzipped
files have a ".gz" extension.
In the previous gzip package, the "-r" option did not restore the last
accessed time (atime) of directories. In this updated package, the last
accessed time is updated to reflect the time when the directory was
decompressed.
Users of gzip are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
