ftp bug fix update

An updated ftp package that fixes various bugs is now available.

The ftp package provides the standard UNIX command line File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) client. FTP is a widely used protocol for transferring
files over the Internet, and for archiving files.

This updated package fixes the following bugs:

* if the "get" command was used to download a non-existent file, FTP did
not close the file descriptor. In this updated package, file descriptors
are no longer leaked.

* when the "case" command was used to turn on remote computer file name
case mapping, using the "mget" command to download files may have caused
FTP to overwrite the files on the client machine with the wrong content,
or fail when mixed-case file names were used. For example, downloading
multiple files may have resulted in a single file, that contained the
content of a different file.

* the ftp-debuginfo package did not contain any files. This may have
limited debugging options. In this updated package, the ftp-debuginfo
package contains the correct files.

Users of ftp are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
