Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Announcement
------------------------------------

Package:	qt
Issue Date: 	July 26, 2002	
Priority:	high	
Advisory ID: 	YDU-20020726-1


1. 	Topic:

	Updated qt packages are available.


2. 	Problem:

	The version of the Qt tookit that shipped with Yellow Dog Linux
	2.3 contains a small bug which causes the startup time of KDE
	applications such as Konqueror to be quite slow.  The bug also
	caused general UI slowness in applications such as KMail and
	broken preview functionality in the KDE Control Center's
	screensaver module.  Installing the updated Qt packages resolves
	all of these above problems.


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 qt

   	b) Updating manually...
	Download the updates below for your version of Yellow Dog Linux
	and then run the following rpm command.
   	(Please use a mirror site)

		rpm -Fvh [filenames]

I wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered with,
examine the md5sum with the following command: rpm --checksig --nogpg filename
