Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis: Updated teTeX packages available
Advisory ID: RHEA-2001:166-03
Issue date: 2001-12-11
Updated on: 2001-12-14
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: tetex pdftex

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated teTeX packages are available, including newer versions of
pdfTeX and pTeX, and with several bugs fixed. The default
configuration is now compatible with xmltex and PassiveTeX.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386
3. Problem description:
The version of pdfTeX distributed with the Red Hat Linux 7.2 packages
was quite old and contained bugs which are fixed in the newer
version.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
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):
