1.171. readahead

An updated readahead package that fixes a bug is now available.

readahead reads the contents of a list of files into memory, which causes them to be read from cache when they are actually needed. Its goal is to speed up the boot process.

This update addresses the following bug:

* readahead includes a python helper script for readahead list maintainers: /usr/share/doc/readahead-1.3/readahead-check. Previously, this script's shebang line pointed to "/usr/bin/env python" rather than explicitly referencing the Python version installed on the system. This reference broke scripts such as readahead-check in the case of a user installing an alternative Python version. With this update, the shebang line in readahead-check points explicitly to the system version at /usr/bin/python. (BZ#521280)

All readahead users should install this update which addresses this issue.
