                     Mandrake Linux Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           9.1
Advisory ID:            MDKA-2003:004-1
Date:                   April 24th, 2003
Original Advisory Date: April 10th, 2003
Affected versions:	9.1

Problem Description:

 The following updates provide certain fixes to Mandrake Linux 9.1:
 
 It was discovered that the Mandrake Galaxy theme would cause crashes in
 certain programs such as Downloader4X.  It would also cause a crash in
 languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.  This update provides a fix.
 
 Two bugs were discovered in the Mandrake Control Center:  The first 
 kills "explicitly non-embeddable" processes when killing embedded 
 tools, and the second prevented menudrake from being executed by users
 other than root and the owner of the X server.
 
 All non-latin locales in rfbdrake are completely broken due to bad
 utf8 handling.
 
 A number of printer-related fixes have been made:  
 
 - Ghostscript now supports PNG again; the Ghostscript shipped with 9.1
 was missing PNG support.  
 
 - Many HP LaserJet printers had two "Duplex" options when used with the
 "ljet4d" or "Postscript" drivers.
 
 - The "PrintoutMode" option of the "pxlmono" driver (PCL 6, most newer 
 non-PostScript laser printers) did not set the resolution.
 
 - Problems printing on the HP LaserJet 1000 should be solved now.
 
 - The Lexmark Z31 printed only bi-directionally giving very poor 
 quality, now it prints uni-directionally by default (much better 
 quality), and bi-directional printing is an option.
 
 - ICC profile support (color correction) for the Minolta MagiColor
 2200/2300 DL printers.
 
 - All Foomatic printer IDs are clear-text now; no more cryptic numbers
 when using "foomatic-configure" to set up printers on the command line.
 Users can now setup printers without looking up the ID number first.
 
 - Changes were made so that upgrading from 9.0 and older would not
 require a regeneration of the Foomatic print queues.
 
 A number of fixes were also made to the drakxtools programs,
 specifically:  
 
 - In drakfloppy, when attempting to create a boot disk, the 
 configuration works fine but will fail and crash when actually
 generating the boot floppy.
 
 - Some strings were not translated in harddrake.
 
 - The harddrake service timeout was only 5 seconds which was too short
 so it has been changed to a 25s timeout.
 
 - In draktermserv, initrd was mistakenly named initrdrd.
 
 - Due to unuseable fonts for Arabic, Arabic support has been disabled
 in the tools.
 
 - Fixes were made to xfdrake to work better with some Intel video cards.
 
 - A number of bugs were corrected in drakconnect.
 
 - Drakboot would crash if any errors occured during lilo or grub
 regeneration of the mbr; now drakboot will display the error instead
 of crashing.
 
 MandrakeClub users use a special downloading mechanism involving HTTP
 redirection with authentication.  There is a problem in the downloading
 backend using in 9.1 (the curl program) which prevents the redirection
 from happening correctly.  Under urpmi, users experiencing this problem
 see the error message "unable to register rpm file.  Everything already
 installed" when trying to install a package (a workaround is to force
 the use of wget, or use the redirection (the URL beginning with 
 https://) directly).  Under rpmdrake, the error message is "The 
 signature of the package is not correct; Could not read lead bytes".
 There is no workaround in rpmdrake.
 
 As well, a UTF8 issue was fixed in grpmi.
 
 The provided packages correct all of these problems.
  
Update:

 The versioning information was incorrect for the drakxtools and
 drakconf updates which would not allow the updates to be seen by
 certain x86 users.
 
 Other fixes to drakxtools have also been included:
 
 - Compatibility keys management in X11 has been fixed
 
 - A typeo in drakconnect that would break LAN configuration has
 been corrected.
