RHBA-2006:0295 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
findutils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated findutils package that fixes a documentation error is now available.
Description
The findutils packages contains programs for locating files. The find
utility searches for files matching a certain set of criteria (such as a
filename pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes command lines
from standard input arguments (usually file names generated by the find
command).
The find(1) man page contained a description of suffixes "M" and "G" for
the argument of the "-size" operator. These suffixes are not supported in
the version of find(1) shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
Users should upgrade to this updated package, which removes the errorneous
documentation and resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. 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.
