----- Original Message ----- From: "Vincent Danen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 09, 2000 1:42 PM 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 8f81349d8df0ea9050d651c08e289742 7.1/SRPMS/modutils-2.3.10-3mdk.src.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.
