Subject: [Announce] MDKA-2000:010 - modutils update
________________________________________________________________________
Linux-Mandrake Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: modutils
Date: October 9th, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKA-2000:010
Affected versions: 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
There was a problem with modutils crashing constantly when used in
higher Linux-Mandrake security levels due to a problem with the
libsafe library which is used in those higher security levels. The
problem seems to be due to compiling modutils with the compiler option
-fomit-frame-pointer. This update is a rebuild of modutils without
that compiler option so it will work when libsafe is used.

Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to
ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this by
running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm".
Linux-Mandrake 7.1:
7518afc708b38b2c047c9ddb31e64466 7.1/RPMS/modutils-2.3.10-3mdk.i586.rpm

________________________________________________________________________
To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name".
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/RPMS/". Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two
above-listed mirrors.
