openSUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for expect ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2021:0800-1 Rating: moderate References: #1172681 #1183904 #1184122 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 15.2 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has three recommended fixes can now be installed. Description: This update for expect fixes the following issues: - Fixed an issue when expect in permanently open connection causes hanging for scripts. (bsc#1183904) - pass explicit -pie flag to CFLAGS and hack `make` invocation so that /usr/bin/expect actually becomes a PIE binary. This is especially awkard since the expect build system implicitly passes -fPIC which breaks our gcc-PIE package, but does not pass -pie while linking the executable. Shared libraries are also not linked with -shared so we need to explicitly pass this, too, to avoid build breakage. (bsc#1184122) - Add an unversioned symlink to make linking easier for applications that use libexpect without Tcl. (bsc#1172681) This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.
