Synopsis: Moderate: yum security update Issue date: 2008-10-06 When RedHat started putting the %{dist} variable into their rpm names, it took the Scientific Linux developers a while to believe that was what they were really going to settle on. (There were two other distribution naming schemes RedHat used before this, so we thought this one would only last a month or two.) As a result, we ended up with several security updates with poor names. These poorly named packages could not be updated when newer security updates came out. This yum update contains a plugin called "versionfix". Versionfix allows yum to update poorly named packages. These poorly named packages will be updated the next time yum is run. On a normal system, this will be the next day. SL 4.x SRPMS: yum-2.4.3-4.SL.src.rpm i386: yum-2.4.3-4.SL.noarch.rpm x86_64: yum-2.4.3-4.SL.noarch.rpm -Connie Sieh -Troy Dawson
