Subject: [RHBA-2000:033-02] New Plugger package available
Red Hat, Inc. Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis: New Plugger package available
Advisory ID: RHBA-2000:033-02
Issue date: 2000-06-07
Updated on: 2000-06-07
Product: Red Hat Powertools
Keywords: bus error Netscape
Cross references: N/A
1. Topic:
Netscape crashes with a bus error when Plugger is installed.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Powertools 6.1 – i386 sparc
Red Hat Powertools 6.2 – i386 sparc
3. Problem description:
Some users have reported that Netscape crashes with a bus error
after Plugger is installed. We have not been able to reproduce
this. A probable cause is the use of a debug file in /tmp. The new
package does not make use of the debug file.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
Some users have also reported upgrading Netscape to 4.73 fixes
the problem without upgrading Plugger.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla)
