RHBA-2003:376 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Updated htdig packages fix truncated output problems
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated htdig packages that fix a number of truncated output problems are
now available.
Description
The ht://Dig system is a Web search and indexing system for a small
domain or intranet.
The original htdig packages shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 had
problems when the output of a search was piped through a filter. This
happened when ht://Dig was used in conjunction with the Web frontend.
Users of ht://Dig should install these updated packages, which revert the
software to the latest version of the stable branch, and resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:
