RHBA-2009:1606 - gpart bug fix update

Synopsis

gpart bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

A gpart update that fixes a bug in the -debuginfo package is now available.

Description

Gpart is a small tool which tries to guess what partitions are on a PC type harddisk in case the primary partition table was damaged.

This update addresses the following issue:

  • although gpart contains ELF objects, the gpart-debuginfo package was empty. With this update the -debuginfo package contains valid debugging information as expected. (BZ#500598)

gpart users needing the gpart debuginfo package should install this upgraded package which fixes this problem.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
