1. Topic:

Updated perl RPM packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7. These
packages fix problems with the DB_File module introduced by the
RHEA-2001:015-09 enhancement errata.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386

3. Problem description:

The db3 errata RHEA-2001:015-09 causes perl's DB_File module to reject the
db3 libs after import, due to version mismatch. The bug fix is a simple
recompile of perl against the newer version of db3.

4. Solution:

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.  Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

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

32665 - recent update of db3 pages broke perl's use DB_File

6. RPMs required:

Red Hat Linux 7.0:

SRPMS:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/en/os/SRPMS/perl-5.6.0-10a.src.rpm

alpha:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/en/os/alpha/perl-5.6.0-10a.alpha.rpm

i386:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/en/os/i386/perl-5.6.0-10a.i386.rpm



7. Verification:

MD5 sum                           Package Name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
7af8f78a58ba8b1ddd8abf25c41b21ad 7.0/en/os/SRPMS/perl-5.6.0-10a.src.rpm

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security.  Our key
is available at:
    http://www.redhat.com/corp/contact.html

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>
