Bug Fix Advisory jadetex bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2009:0378-2
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2009-03-18
Last updated on: 2009-09-02
Affected Products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client)

Details

An updated jadetex package that fixes several bugs is now available.

The jadetex package contains high-level TeX macros which can be used to
produce DVI, PostScript and/or Portable Document Format (PDF) output.

This updated jadetex package includes fixes for the following bugs:

* several jadetex files which were installed in the /usr/share/texmf/web2c/
directory had the wrong SELinux context. This updated package corrects the
SELinux context of these files.

* previously, installing the jadetex package led to the creation of two
unnecessary log files that were not owned by the package in the
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/ directory. This updated package no longer creates
these log files, thus resolving the issue.

All users of jadetex are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
