RHBA-2012:1145 - pm-utils bug fix update


Synopsis

pm-utils bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated pm-utils packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The pm-utils packages contain a set of utilities and scripts for tasks related to power management.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the pm-utils set listed files without listing the directories for those files. As a consequnce, pm-utils only created but did not own the directories "/usr/lib/pm-utils/bin", "/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d," and "/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d". This update modifies pm-utils so that all directories are correctly listed in the package. Now, pm-utils owns the created directories. (BZ#481811)

  • Prior to this update, the x86emu code could cause problems for certain hardware. As a consequence, systems that used NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 video cards and the nv driver did not correctly resume after suspending the system. This update modifies the x86emu code so that all systems resume as expected. (BZ#675268)

  • Prior to this update, the RPM description contained wrong product names. This update removes all wrong information. (BZ#817421)

All users of pm-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

Solution

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