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 8.
