Mandriva: Subject: [Security Announce] [ MDVA-2009:108 ] libx11 Print E-mail
User Rating:      How can I rate this item?
Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake Due to a interface change in version 1.2 of the xcb library, programs depending on libx11 would not be able to run without the proper version of that library. But libx11 package did not require this version explicitly allowing that this package to be installed with a wrong version of libxcb. This update fixes this issue.
