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

Package:	yellowdog-release
Issue Date: 	June 26, 2002	
Priority:	low
Advisory ID: 	YDU-20020626-3


1. 	Topic:

	Updated yellowdog-release packages are available.


2. 	Problem:

	The yellowdog-release rpm that shipped with Yellow Dog Linux
	2.3 doesn't properly re-identify a system as YDL 2.3
	after a 2.2 to 2.3 upgrade.  This updated package fixes the
	problem.


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 yellowdog-release

   	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]

		ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.3/
			ppc/yellowdog-release-2.3-2.ppc.rpm

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
