RHBA-2013:1443 - db4 bug fix update

Synopsis

db4 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated db4 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is a programmatic toolkit that provides embedded database support for both traditional and client/server applications. The Berkeley DB includes B+tree, Extended Linear Hashing, Fixed and Variable-length record access methods, transactions, locking, logging, shared memory caching, and database recovery. The Berkeley DB supports C, C++, Java, and Perl APIs. It is used by many applications, including Python and Perl, so this should be installed on all systems.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to an incorrect order of the mutex initialization calls, the rpm utility became unresponsive under certain circumstances, until it was terminated. With this update, the order of the mutex initialization calls has been revised. As a result, the rpm utility no longer becomes unresponsive. (BZ#1012585)

Users of db4 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
