RHBA-2013:0100 - spice-xpi bug fix update

Synopsis

spice-xpi bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated spice-xpi packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The spice-xpi package provides the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE) extension for Mozilla that allows the SPICE client to be used from a web browser.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the spice-xpi utility incorrectly assumed sole ownership of the /usr/lib{,64}/mozilla/plugins ({_libdir}/mozilla/plugins/) directory and all files in it. As a consequence, also files that belonged to other packages were removed when spice-xpi was uninstalled. This update modifies the specifications to remove only files that belong to the spice-xpi package. (BZ#795513)

  • Prior to this update, the spice-xpi packages did not compile correctly with the xulrunner runtime environment. This update modifies the underlying code to allow spice-xpi to compile successfully. (BZ#817470)

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