Red Hat, Inc. Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis: Update to official glibc 2.2
Advisory ID: RHBA-2000:079-08
Issue date: 2000-10-09
Updated on: 2000-11-27
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: glibc JDK xmms gethostbyname fscanf gethostid rexec
Cross references: N/A

1. Topic:
This errata updates the GNU C library to the latest official release
(2.2)
while fixing several bugs found in glibc 2.1.92-14 and glibc 2.1.94-3.
2000-11-27: Added packages for Red Hat Linux 7 for Alpha
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i686, i386, alpha
3. Problem description:
Users are strongly urged to update to the latest official GNU C
library.
This library provides binary compatibility with programs and shared
libraries built for older releases of glibc, such as glibc 2.0.x and
2.1.x.
Binaries and shared libraries built against glibc-2.1.92-14 or
glibc-2.1.94-3 are also binary compatible, but new binaries compiled
against this glibc 2.2 might not run on systems with older GNU C
library
packages installed.
This errata fixes several glibc bugs, including JDK programs
segfaulting on
startup, xmms segfaulting on exit, and how verbose ldconfig was about
stale
symlinks when it wasn't provided with the -v option (this will now
match
the behavior of the standalone ldconfig package). This release fixes
compatibility bugs with glibc 2.0.x, fixes a C header file problem so
that
Python 2.0 compiles out of box, and also fixes a bug in locale
handling
code. Other bugs have also been fixed; see the Bugzilla IDs below
and the
glibc ChangeLog* files for details.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
6418 - sethostid fails 17019 - gethostbyname call SIGSEGVs 17145 -
Mutex locks may be broken. 17267 - glibc 2.1.92 is not binary
compatible with glibc 2.0 17723 - crypt.h and unistd.h have
conflicting function declarations 17832 - multiple IP addresses in
/etc/hosts (for one hostname) cause programs to access /etc/hosts via
the usual library functions to segfault 17838 - xmms not closing
properly 18049 - Sun's JDK 1.2.2 does not run 18316 - stdio problems
with fscanf 18832 - efence complains setlocale() in 2.1.94-3 stomps
on memory. 18886 - rexec(3) bug in inet/rexec.c 19088 - <limits.h>
mis-defines symbol LONG_BIT 19199 - Postgresql Won't start on Alpha
19375 - hesiod/nss_hesiod/hesiod-grp.c (_nss_hesiod_initgroups_dyn)
19495 - Translated messages sometimes presented with wrong character
set 19730 - Problems locking a file opened with FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
20417 - 2.1.97 breaks wine

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm --checksig <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
