4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously
released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.
Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those
RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated.
Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory
*only* contains
the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat
Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red
Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in
the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
