Synopsis

gdbm bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

Gdbm is a GNU database indexing library, which includes routines which use extensible hashing. Gdbm works in a similar way to standard UNIX dbm routines.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, gdbm-devel had no explicit requirements to gdbm, which could introduce interoperability problems. With this update, the gdbm-devel adds explicit requirements to the gdbm package. (BZ#671156)

All users of gdbm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
