We don't allow to write to static data in /usr/share ... it is againts LSB to have it there.

Mr. Maintenance, can we just do an update to 6.0.2 (or 6.0.3)? Version 6.0.3 (March 2013) - Run autoreconf and configure based on autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.13 to get rid of these vulnerabilies: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-4029 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-3386 - Update configure.ac to automake 1.13. - If in manual mode, keep it after undo. - Remove some unused code. Version 6.0.2 (March 2012) - New option --addbook to compile a book. - Maximum file name length of EPD files extended to 127 characters. - Book file allowed to be read only unless the BookLearn option is set. 12.3 is currently at 6.0.2 which isn't affected by this bug; since all the 6.0.3 changes only affect the build, it seems fine to leave it be in 12.3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
