Problem description: A new version of Netscape has been released. This release fixes some security problems in Javascript and form signing, as well as adding some new features. For more information, please see: http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/4.7/relnotes/unix-4.7.html (1999-10-08) The original packages released for Red Hat Linux 6.0 and 6.1 had an error in the post-install script; the 75dpi font directory was accidentally removed from the font path instead of added. This is fixed in the updated packages. Users of the previous packages may wish to run (as root): chkfontpath --add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart as opposed to downloading the new packages, as the package contents have not changed. 8. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Uvh where filename is the name of the RPM. 9. Verification: MD5 sum Package Name f604d7e8032fe13f630373e5f9ad0940 i386/netscape-common-4.7-0.i386.rpm 3fcc5fca33ba3fc647fb5a7bf6aabf41 i386/netscape-communicator-4.7-0.i386.rpm 33818607fdc893a047dbf03c4b46ce34 i386/netscape-navigator-4.7-0.i386.rpm c32b3f430a9eaf84c2c3f1e35f402229 SRPMS/netscape-4.7-0.src.rpm da8414206db834a9cf40c387f1ac2920 netscape-common-4.7-1.1.i386.rpm b1efd248d95a1a1cd7b9a5a1caef1922 netscape-communicator-4.7-1.1.i386.rpm d5529c3e2403ff2a3ce4483b6c2eb131 netscape-navigator-4.7-1.1.i386.rpm c8dd34bd0cad87bfd1d51a0c56713ac3 netscape-4.7-1.1.src.rpm These packages are signed with GnuPG by Red Hat Inc. for security. Our key is available at: http://www.redhat.com/corp/contact.html and is also attached to this annoucement. You can verify each package with the following command: rpm --checksig If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command: rpm --checksig --nogpg Note that you need RPM >= 3.0 to check GnuPG keys. 10.
