Hi,


RHEL5 recently released two updates for pcre in quick succession:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-1052.html   # nov 9
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0967pcre-devel-6.6-2.el.html   # nov 5

These were released as SL5 updates:

http://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0711&L=scientific-linux-errata&T=0&P=2375 # nov 13


It looks as if the same version numbers were used for the SL rpms in
both cases (pcre-6.6-2.el5.1.i386.rpm etc), meaning that someone who
has applied the first update won't get the second installed by an
update.

Compared to the RHEL5 versions:

pcre-6.6-2.el5_1.1.i386.rpm 
pcre-devel-6.6-2.el5_0.1.i386.rpm

the "_0", "_1" part of the name has been lost.

Thanks.
