RHBA-2009:1481 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
filesystem bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated filesystem package that corrects the owners of certain
directories is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The filesystem package is one of the basic packages that is installed on a
Red Hat Linux system. Filesystem contains the basic directory layout for
the Linux operating system, including the correct permissions for
directories.
This updated filesystem package fixes the following bug:
- a number of file system directories were unowned. This update corrects
the ownership of the following directories: /usr/src/debug,
/usr/src/kernels, several directories in /usr/share/man, /usr/share/locale
and, under it, the LC_MESSAGES subdirectory for several locales. In
addition, for the sake of consistency this updated filesystem package now
owns, but does not create, the locale-specific man page directories located
under /usr/share/man/[locale]. (BZ#487568)
All users of filesystem are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
