 _______________________________________________________________________   Mandriva Linux Advisory                                MDVA-2008:082-1  http://www.mandriva.com/security/  _______________________________________________________________________   Package : timezone  Date   : June 5, 2008  Affected: 2008.1  _______________________________________________________________________   Problem Description:   Automatic mirror geolocation in drakxtools-backend in Mandriva Linux 2008.1 would fail for some locales, because it uses backward compatibility timezone names for which there were no zone.tab entries in timezone (bug #40184), this makes software like urpmi to not select optimal mirrors in its automatic media/mirrors addition mode.   This update makes timezone provide backward timezone name entries in zone.tab file to solve this issue.   Additionaly, updated timezone packages are being provided for older Mandriva Linux systems that do not contain the new Daylight Savings Time information for 2008 and later for certain time zones.  Update:  The previous timezone update for Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring triggered a bug in gnome-panel, making it immediately crash when the Gnome session was started. This new update works around the gnome-panel bug.  _______________________________________________________________________  References:   http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40184  _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages:   Mandriva Linux 2008.1:  cc94a702f21b56a5e53d7a3ec5bfb7c3 2008.1/i586/timezone-2008c-1.5mdv2008.1.i586.rpm  5bfe1b31dde5ef07ad00859970a3c4f0 2008.1/i586/timezone-java-2008c-1.5mdv2008.1.i586.rpm  912996536b65f39da835f5dc2cd4e5a1 2008.1/SRPMS/timezone-2008c-1.5mdv2008.1.src.rpm  Mandriva Linux 2008.1/X86_64:  4bc34bc3e1ce08d6159b6e6b131f783d 2008.1/x86_64/timezone-2008c-1.5mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm  a5de2633a311f4a81ab8f80c6b53abda 2008.1/x86_64/timezone-java-2008c-1.5mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm  912996536b65f39da835f5dc2cd4e5a1 2008.1/SRPMS/timezone-2008c-1.5mdv2008.1.src.rpm  _______________________________________________________________________  To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.  All packages are signed by Mandriva for security. You can obtain the GPG public key of the Mandriva Security Team by executing:  gpg --recv-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu 0x22458A98  You can view other update advisories for Mandriva Linux at:  http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories  If you want to report vulnerabilities, please contact  security_(at)_mandriva.com  _______________________________________________________________________ |
