1.60.1. RHEA-2011:0672: enhancement update

Updated fipscheck packages which relocate the library from /usr to /lib or /lib64 are now available.

FIPSCheck is a library used to verify the integrity of modules validated under FIPS-140-2. The fipscheck package provides helper binaries for creating and verifying HMAC-SHA256 checksum files.

These updated fipscheck packages add the following enhancement:

The fipscheck library can be linked to binaries (such as cryptsetup) which have to operate when /usr is not mounted. With this update, the fipscheck library relocates from /usr to /lib or /lib64 (depending on the underlying architecture) to allow linking to such binaries. (BZ#669077)

All fipscheck users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
