RHBA-2004:128 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
Updated unixODBC packages fix various bugs
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated unixODBC packages that fix a number of bugs are now available.
Description
unixODBC is a complete, free/open, ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)
solution for UNIX/Linux. ODBC is an interface by which programs and
programmers can communicate with any database having an ODBC driver.
This update merges in unixODBC version 2.2.8, and also corrects a problem
with internal symbol names that conflict with PostgreSQL's libpq. The
conflict could cause crashes in applications that use both libpq and unixODBC.
Users of unixODBC should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
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:
