RHBA-2014:0585 - pango bug fix update

Synopsis

pango bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated pango packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for the GTK+ widget toolkit.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, the Pango library used an incorrect macro for specifying a location of its man pages. Consequently, after installing the pango packages, the man pages were placed in the wrong directory. This update fixes the relevant macro in the Pango spec file and the man pages are now located in the correct directory. (BZ#885846)

  • Previously, the pango RPM scriptlet did not mask harmless error messages. As a consequence, although the migration was successful, the scriptlet printed error messages related to missing directories after an upgrade from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. This update determines the location of the directory with the cache file, and these harmless error messages no longer appear. (BZ#1086690)

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

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
