Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Advisory: YDU-20020522-6

[Dan Burcaw]

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

Package:	kdebase	
Issue Date: 	May 22, 2002	
Priority:	medium		
Advisory ID: 	YDU-20020522-6


1. 	Topic:

	Updated kdebase packages are available.


2. 	Problem:

	KDE's artsd daemon does not currently function at 16-bit
	on the PowerPC architecture.  These errata updates change
	the default artsd behavior to use 8-bit mode which allows
	sound to function.


3. 	Solution:

   	a) Updating via yup...
   	We suggest that you use the Yellow Dog Update Program (yup)
   	to keep your system up-to-date. The following command(s) will
   	automatically retrieve and install the fixed version of
   	this update onto your system:

		yup update kdebase 

   	b) Updating manually...
   	The update can also be retrieved manually from our ftp site
   	below along with the rpm command that should be used to install
   	the update.  (Please use a mirror site)

   		ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.2/ppc/
		rpm -Fvh kdebase*-2.2.2-1d.ppc.rpm
