Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated util-linux packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
The util-linux package contains a large variety of low-level system
utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function. Among
others, util-linux contains the fdisk configuration tool and the login
program.
The updated packages include the following fixes:
- A previous version of the utility contained a scriptlet error in the
post-install spec file.
The scriptlet error produced unnecessary error messages during the package
installation process. With this update, the post-install spec file error
messages are removed. (BZ#501870)
- The man page for raw(8) incorrectly stated that raw device support was
deprecated. This update reinstates the raw device support information.
(BZ#509334)
Users of util-linux should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
