RHBA-2011:1537 - gamin bug fix update

Synopsis

gamin bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated gamin packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

Gamin is an implementation of a subset of the File Alteration Monitor (FAM). It is both API and ABI compatible with the file alteration monitoring mechanism, but does not depend on a system-wide daemon.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to an assertion check, the Gamin server terminated unexpectedly after a certain amount of time. With this update, the assertion has been silenced so that the Gamin server now works as expected. (BZ#503085)

All users are advised to upgrade to these updated gamin packages, which fix 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
