RHBA-2012:1469 - bacula bug fix update

Synopsis

bacula bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated bacula packages that fix multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The bacula packages provide a tool set that allows you to manage the backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of different computers.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the logwatch tool did not check the "/var/log/bacula*" file. As a consequence, the logwatch report was incomplete. This update adds all log files to the logwatch configuration file. Now, the logwatch report is complete. (BZ#728693)

• Prior to this update, the bacula tool itself created the "/var/spool/bacula/log" file. As a consequence, this log file used an incorrect SELinux context. This update modifies the underlying code to create the /var/spool/bacula/log file in the bacula package. Now, this log file has the correct SELinux context.(BZ#728697)

• Prior to this update, the bacula packages were built without the CFLAGS variable "$RPM_OPT_FLAGS". As a consequence, the debug information was not generated. This update modifies the underlying code to build the packages with CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS. Now, the debug information is generated as expected. (BZ#729008)

• Prior to this update, the perl script which generates the my.conf file contained a misprint. As a consequence, the port variable was not set correctly. This update corrects the misprint. Now, the port variable is set as expected. (BZ#756803)

• Prior to this update, values for the "show pool" command was obtained from the "res->res_client" item. As a consequence, the output displayed incorrect job and file retention values. This update uses the "res->res_pool" item to obtain the correct values. (BZ#802158)

• Prior to this update, bacula-storage-common utility wrongly removed alternatives for the bcopy function during the update. As a consequence, the Link to bcop.{mysql,sqlite,postgresql} disappeared after updating. This update modifies the underlying code to remove these links directly in storage-{mysql,sqlite,postgresql} and not in bacula-storage-common. (BZ#862240)

All users of bacula are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
