Has anyone tried installing this patch?

I'm attaching a transcript of what happens to me when I try.

This is a "virgin" system that I just installed from CDs made from the "NEW"
Yellowdog Linux 3.0 ISOs that I downloaded from YDL.net (enhanced).


Help?

Rick

Yellow Dog Linux Security Announcement
--------------------------------------

Package: evolution
Issue Date: April 09, 2003
Priority: medium
Advisory ID:  YDU-20030409-2


1.  Topic:

Updated evolution packages are available.


2.  Problem:

Ximian Evolution, a groupware suite for GNOME, contains several
vulnerabilities that allow well-crafted emails to crash the
program and cause other instabilities.

Evolution users are advised to upgrade to the following errata
packages that address these issues.


3.  Solution:

a) Updating via apt...
We suggest that you use the apt-get program to keep your
system up-to-date. The following command(s) will retrieve
and install the fixed version of this update onto your system:

apt-get update
apt-get install evolution

b) Updating manually...
Download the updates below and then run the following rpm command.
(Please use a mirror site)

rpm -Fvh [filenames]
Yellow Dog Linux 3.0
ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-3.0/
ppc/evolution-1.2.2-5a.ppc.rpm
SRPMS/evolution-1.2.2-5a.src.rpm

Yellow Dog Linux 2.3
ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.3/
ppc/evolution-1.0.8-9.7x.1a.ppc.rpm
SRPMS/evolution-1.0.8-9.7x.1a.src.rpm


4. Verification

MD5 checksum     Package

5a7245ead4805cb7ea3ed3910e6864a0   ppc/evolution-1.2.2-5a.ppc.rpm

[Yellow Dog Linux 2.3]

If you wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered
with,
examine the md5sum with the following command: md5sum <filename>


5. Misc.

Terra Soft has setup a moderated mailing list where these security, bugfix,
and package
enhancement announcements will be posted. See
http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/ for more
information.
