MDVA-2008:063 : rpmdrake

high Nessus Plugin ID 37429

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

This update fixes several minor issues in rpmdrake:

- it prevents crashing if the RPM database is locked when trying to install some packages (bug #40244) - it fixes a crash when the default view is unknown (bug #39626) - it enables searching also with the numeric pad's Enter key (bug #40659) - it makes rpmdrake not list backports as (unselected) updates, like MandrivaUpdate does

It also makes MandrivaUpdate fit in laptops screen (eg when resolution only has 480 horizontal lines)

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
