1.230. unix2dos

1.230.1. RHBA-2009:0294: bug fix update

Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK
RHBA-2009:0294
errata
Updated unix2dos2 packages that resolve a bug are now available.
The unix2dos utility converts UNIX text files to DOS or MAC format.
This updated package provides a fix for the following bug:
• when unix2dos created a new file as the output of its conversion (when run with the -n option), the
new file would always have its permission mode set as 600, regardless of the permission mode
of the original file. Unix2dos now sets the permission mode for the new file to be the same as the
mode of the old file, filtered through the user's umask.
Users of unix2dos should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

1.231. util-linux

1.231.1. RHBA-2009:1405: bug fix update

Updated util-linux packages that fix various bugs are now available.
The util-linux package contains a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a
Linux system to function. Among others, util-linux contains the fdisk configuration tool and the login
program.
The updated packages include the following fixes:
• A previous version of the utility contained a scriptlet error in the post-install spec file.
The scriptlet error produced unnecessary error messages during the package installation process.
With this update, the post-install spec file error messages are removed.
• The man page for raw(8) incorrectly stated that raw device support was deprecated. This update
reinstates the raw device support information.
Users of util-linux should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
