RHBA-2013:0290 - abrt, libreport and btparser bug fix and enhancement update


Synopsis

abrt, libreport and btparser bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated abrt, libreport and btparser packages that fix multiple bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

ABRT is a tool to help users to detect defects in applications and to create a problem report with all the information needed by a maintainer to fix it. ABRT uses a plug-in system to extend its functionality.

The libreport libraries provide an API for reporting different problems in applications to different bug targets like Bugzilla, ftp, and trac.

The btparser utility is a backtrace parser and analyzer library, which works with backtraces produced by the GNU Project Debugger. It can parse a text file with a backtrace to a tree of C structures, allowing to analyze the threads and frames of the backtrace and process them.

These updated packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 Technical Notes for information on the most significant of these changes:

All users of abrt, libreport and btparser are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.

Solution
