RHBA-2013:0988 - suitesparse bug fix update

Synopsis

suitesparse bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated suitesparse packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The suitesparse packages are a collection of libraries for computations involving sparse matrices.

This update fixes the following bug:

• The suitesparse base package was missing a copy of the General Public License (GPL). The license was included in the suitesparse-doc subpackage, but it was possible to install suitesparse without the suitesparse-doc subpackage. With this update, a copy of the license is now included also in the base package. (BZ#902854)

Users of suitesparse are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
