RHBA-2013:1535 - febootstrap bug fix update

Synopsis

febootstrap bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The febootstrap package is used by libguestfs to build a small appliance.

The febootstrap package has been upgraded to upstream version 3.21, which provides one bug fix over the previous version.

This update also fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, when using febootstrap-supermin-helper with the "-g" option, the command did not set the supplemental groups properly. As a consequence, some groups from the user running libguestfs leaked into the appliance build process. After this update, supplemental groups are set correctly. (BZ#902478)

Users of febootstrap 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
