Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The provided packages have been patched to correct this issue.

In addition, the LE2005 packages contain fixes to configuring email into kbugreport, fixing a KDE crasher bug, fixing a kicondialog bug, a KHTML bug, and a knewsticker export symbol problem.
