RHBA-2011:1271 - perl-Net-DNS bug fix update
Synopsis
perl-Net-DNS bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated perl-Net-DNS package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The perl-Net-DNS package contains a collection of Perl modules that act as a Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the programmer to perform DNS queries that are beyond the capabilities of the gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr routines.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, perl-Net-DNS lacked a complete IPv6 functionality. This update adds the dependencies related to IPv6 and, in addition, prevents the possibility of interactive (re)build. (BZ#688211)
All users of perl-Net-DNS should upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
