rpm bug fix update

Updated rpm packages that fix several bugs and add an enhancement are now
available.

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a command line-driven package management
system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and
updating software packages.

These updated rpm packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

* files in the /usr/share/mime directory incorrectly inherited the umask of
the process performing the installation, which, incorrectly, led to files
with permissions which were too strict to be used by users.

* RPM no longer crashes when it attempts to package files greater than two
gigabytes in size.

* when using the "--httpproxy" RPM option on the command line with multiple
package targets, RPM would only successfully download and install the first
in the argument list, while the rest would fail to download.

* attempting to package huge directory trees caused RPM to segmentation fault.

* previously, when RPM upgraded packages which are installed for both
32-bit and 64-bit architectures, it occasionally created unnecessary
.rpmsave and .rpmnew files, even in cases when the new configuration file
did not differ from the previous one (for example, it had not been changed
by the user). With these updated packages, RPM does not create these
redundant .rpmsave and .rpmnew files when upgrading multilib packages, thus
resolving the issue.

* when upgrading from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 to this release,
minilogd may log several SELinux denials. These error logs are harmless,
and can be safely ignored.

* RPM now closes open file descriptors more aggressively, which prevents
too many file descriptors from being open at one time.

In addition, these updated rpm packages provide the following enhancement:
the /bin/rpm binary is now owned by the root user and group instead of the
"rpm" user and group. This is a security feature that is useful against
certain attacks environments using the Network File System.

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated rpm packages, which resolve
these issues and add this enhancement.

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 the Red
