RHBA-2014:0555 - shared-mime-info bug fix update

Synopsis

shared-mime-info bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated shared-mime-info packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The shared-mime-info packages contain the core database of common types. Programs and desktops consult the MIME database to determine the correct MIME type for a file.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to optimizations performed by the Anaconda installer, the glib2 packages, which the shared-mime-info packages depend on, were not yet installed when the shared-mime-info's post-installation script was run. As a consequence, a harmless error message was reported. This update adds an explicit dependency on glib2 for the post-installation script to only run after the glib2 packages have been installed, and the errors no longer occur in the described situation. (BZ#974505)

Users of shared-mime-info 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
