Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated coreutils Shift_JIS packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The coreutils packages contain the GNU Core Utilities and represent a combination of the previously used GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages. Shift JIS (SJIS) is a character encoding for the Japanese language. The coreutils Shift_JIS packages provide coreutils support for SJIS.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- Previously, the NULL character in some cases was not replaced with the "tr" command provided by the coreutils packages. With this update, "tr" is able to display such character properly. (BZ#1483352)
Users who require SJIS encoding support with coreutils are advised to upgrade to
these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
