Hi Andreas,
They look the same as SL 52 packages because they are the same. Which always makes me suspicious on a major upgrade like this. We did need to update the prelink for SL 50, but that is already in the security errata from an earlier security errata.

I personally do not use autoconfig and do not know how much this is going to impact people. How prevalent is this?

It looks like the bug isn't even being worked on yet, even though it is over a month old. Part of me wants to wait, but another part of me hates holding up a critical security errata. And this one I've already messed up and let it slip a couple of days.

What if I sent out the security errata with a warning that says to put the link there if you need to run autoconfig?

looks like they are the same as on SL5.2, don't they? Unfortunately even
in RedHat's final 3.0 build autoconfig for systemwide settings is
broken. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447535

We found a workaround for this which is described there, but this is not
the real solution. BTW: Ubuntu's FF3 build doesn't show this bug...

Cheers,
Andreas
