Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated coreutils packages are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.
Description
The coreutils packages contain core GNU utilities, which represents
a combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils
packages. Shift_JIS (SJIS), is a character encoding for the Japanese
language. These packages provide coreutils support for the Shift_JIS
encoding.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- Some coreutils commands displayed Shift_JIS-encoded characters
improperly. The coreutils Shift_JIS packages have been upgraded to
version 8.4 adding in the latest bug fixes and enhancements. Among other
changes, the coreutils Shift_JIS packages provide a fix ensuring that
the "printf" command is now able to properly display Shift_JIS-encoded
characters. (BZ#1072248)
All users requiring SJIS encoding support for coreutils should install
these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
