Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated lmbench package that fixes several bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Hardware Certification.

Description

lmbench is a series of micro benchmarks intended to measure basic operating system and hardware system metrics. The benchmarks fall into three general classes: bandwidth, latency, and "other".

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the lmbench package included unnecessary files which were not needed by the Red Hat Hardware Certification Test Suite and caused conflicts with other packages during installation. With this update, the unnecessary content has been removed. (BZ#958448, BZ#958449)

Users of lmbench are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
