RHBA-2013:1357 - man-pages-overrides bug fix update

Synopsis

man-pages-overrides bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated man-pages-overrides package that fixes several bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The man-pages-overrides package provides a collection of manual (man) pages to complement other packages or update those contained therein.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Various manual pages from the poppler package contained an incorrect path to the configuration file and references to non-existent man pages. The invalid paths to the configuration file have been fixed and incorrect references removed form the man pages. (BZ#553440)

• Previously, the runcon(1) manual page did not specify the exact position of the "--" special argument. The position of the argument is now specified. (BZ#711765)

• The pam_limits PAM module has an off-by-one bug in calculation of the RLMIT_NICE priority. If the nice limit is set to -1, the real value set in the kernel will be equivalent to nice value 0. The limits.conf(5) manual page now describes the problem and provides a workaround. (BZ#760101)

• The missing BUGS section has been added to the times(2) manual page and describes a known bug that can occur in a small time window soon after the boot. (BZ#896053)

• Previously, the "max_childs" parameter was not documented in the udevd(8) manual page. This update adds documentation of that parameter. (BZ#903550)

• Previously, the shmop(2) manual page did not list the EIDRM error code in the Error section. The error code is now included in the manual page. (BZ#949789)

Users of man-pages-overrides are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
