RHBA-2009:1573 - vconfig bug fix update

Synopsis

vconfig bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated vconfig package that fixes two bugs is now available.

Description

Vconfig is the utility for configuring 802.1q VLAN parameters.

This updated package fixes the following bugs:

  • although vconfig contains ELF objects, the vconfig-debuginfo package was empty. With this update the -debuginfo package contains valid debugging information as expected. (BZ#500635)

  • the previous vconfig release installed a CVS directory and related metadata to /usr/share/doc/vconfig-1.9/contrib/. They have been removed with this update. Note: this was a cosmetic issue only. The files did nothing and had no effect on vconfig's utility. (BZ#221161)

Users of vconfig are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.

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 This content is not included.http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
