4.174.1. RHBA-2012:1134 — symlinks bug fix update

Updated symlinks packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The symlinks utility is used for maintenance of symbolic links.

Bug Fix

BZ#578597: On 32-bit systems, support for files larger than 2 GB was not enabled. This caused failures when running the symlinks utility in directories containing symbolic links to large files. This update enables large file support so that the utility works as expected in this scenario.

All users of symlinks are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
