RHBA-2011:1489 - system-switch-mail bug fix update

Synopsis

system-switch-mail bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated system-switch-mail packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The system-switch-mail utility is the Mail Transport Agent Switcher. It enables users to easily switch between various mail transport agents.

These updated system-switch-mail packages fix the following bug:

• Prior to this update system-switch-mail contained the shebang line, "#!/usr/bin/env python". This made it difficult to install alternative versions of Python on the system. With this update the shebang lines in Python executables have been changed to, "#!/usr/bin/python", to ensure the Python interpreter installed on the system is used. (BZ#521904)

All users of system-switch-mail are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.

Solution

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