RHBA-2011:0966 - filesystem bug fix update

Synopsis

filesystem bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated filesystem package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The filesystem package is one of the basic packages that is installed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. The filesystem package contains the basic directory layout for the Linux operating system, including the correct permissions for directories.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, certain locale subdirectories in the /usr/share/locale/ directory did not have any owner set. With this update, this bug has been fixed so that the filesystem package now owns the subdirectories of the following locales: bg_BG (Bulgarian), en_NZ (New Zealand English), fi_FI (Finnish), gl_ES (Galician), lv_LV (Latvian), ms_MY (Malaysian), sr_RS (Serbian), en@shaw (Shavian), zh_CN.GB2312 (Chinese Simplified), sr@ijekavian (Serbian Jekavian), and sr@ijekavianlatin (Serbian Jekavian Latin). (BZ#620063)

All users of filesystem are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.

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