Updated svgalib package available

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Powertools 7.0 – i386

3. Problem description:

The sgvalib package in Powertools 7 is broken when compiling
apps with svgalib support. The result of the problem is that
linking of programs with -lvga included cause ld to exit
complaining /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 contains undefined references to

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.
