                    Red Hat, Inc. Bug Fix Advisory

 Synopsis:           Y2K compliant sharutils available
 Advisory ID:        RHBA-1999:063-01
 Issue date:         1999-12-30
 Updated on:         1999-12-30
 Keywords:           sharutils touch y2k uudecode spaces
 Cross references:   N-A
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. Topic:

 Sharutils as shipped with all previous releases of Red Hat Linux may
 have problems with creating new shell archives because it assumed a
 two digit format for the year.  This bug fix corrects the problem for
 all releases and architectures.

 2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 Red Hat Linux 4.x - i386 alpha sparc
 Red Hat Linux 5.x - i386 alpha sparc
 Red Hat Linux 6.1 - i386 alpha sparc

 3. Problem description:

 Sharutils 4.2 and earlier used a two digit formatting routine for
 years in shar.c (the source code for the program to create shell
 archives).  In addition, uudecode could not handle encoded filenames
 that contained spaces.

 4. Solution:

 Version 4.2.1 of sharutils corrects all known Y2K issues and has been
 thoroughly audited for undiscovered problems.  All other known
 problems with sharutils are fixed as well.

 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

 5971  -  Filenames with spaces are truncated by uudecode
 7435  -  sharutils.mo should be in /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/

 6. Obsoleted by:

 N-A

 7. Conflicts with:

 N-A
