Hello,

I have a number centos3.8 installations. Recently I have figured out that version of coreutils is :

[ivan@algol ivan]$ rpm -q coreutils coreutils-4.5.3-28.1

while RedHat has released an bux fix errata to that package:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2006-0670.html

Actually I discovered that when I encounter bug that should be fixed by this update: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200327

Why this package is not included in recent centos3 updates?

Thank you, Ivan

It is in the fasttrack repo. Since it is a non-security related bugfix, it wouldn't go out until the next subversion is released. You can either get it directly, or add the fasttrack repo to yum. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/Readme.txt

hmmm; it is a bug fix, and not a security matter, from a review of the URL contents; it is possible that it was overlooked, or that the SRPM was not mentioned in an announcement such that it did not trigger itself into the awareness of the update maintainance group.
