RHBA-2011:1498 - libusb bug fix
Synopsis
libusb bug fix
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
An updated libusb package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The libusb package provides a way for applications to access USB devices.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, installing libusb-devel packages of two different architectures in a multilib environment failed. An error occurred due to one architecture independent file (manual.ps) differing between the packages being installed. With this update, creation timestamps are removed from manual.ps so that the file is the same in each package. As a result installation of libusb-devel packages for two different architectures now succeeds. (BZ#634915)
All users of libusb are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
