RHBA-2012:0794 - glib2 bug fix update
Synopsis
glib2 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated glib2 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
GLib is a low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this upate, the gtester-report script was not marked as executable in the glib2-devel package. As a consequence, the gtester-report did not run with the default permissions. This update changes the glib2-devel package definition so that this script is now executable. (BZ#782194)
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
