Synopsis
strace bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated strace package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The strace program intercepts and records the system calls called and received
by a running process. It can print a record of each system call, its arguments
and its return value.
This update fixes the following bug:
- when detaching from a process, a misinterpreted status caused strace to always
leave the process being traced in a stopped state. With this update, the process
is left in the correct state after detaching. (BZ#594614)
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated strace package, which resolves this
issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
