[SECURITY] Fedora Core 5 Update: gimp-2.2.14-5.fc5
- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-491 2007-05-07 -

Product    : Fedora Core 5 Name       : gimp Version    : 2.2.14 Release    : 5.fc5 Summary    : GNU Image Manipulation Program Description : GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for creating logos and other graphics for webpages. GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well. GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

- Update Information:

The GIMP package in Fedora includes a helper script /usr/sbin/gimp-plugin-mgr for plugins contained in other packages, for example, xsane-gimp. This script manages symlinks from the GIMP plugin directory (which may change between upgrades) to the actual location of the plugins.

A bug has been fixed in this erratum of GIMP that was in all older GIMP packages. The bug concerns the execution order in which the symlinks are installed and removed, causing the symlinks to vanish when the GIMP package is updated.

Although this GIMP erratum has the execution order fixed, due to the nature of the problem it will show up once more when updating from an affected version to a fixed version. To add these symlinks back in, run this command, providing the root password when prompted:
