DUMP: Date of this level dump: Thu Apr 2 09:05:09 2009
This has been corrected in these updated packages so that the dump level is no longer missing in
output in which it is shown.
• When the dump command was called without a default dump level specified on the command line,
then the dump level defaulted to 0, while the dump(8) man page stated that the default level was 9.
The actual default dump level that is used when this is not specified in arguments to dump is 0, and
the man page has been changed to reflect this.
• the restore(8) man page, as well as the program's help information, incorrectly implied that the '-P
[file]' option could be used in conjunction with the '-A [archive_file]', which is not the case. Attempting
to use both options results in the following error message: "restore: A option is not valid for P
command". The restore(8) man page and restore's help has been corrected so that it is clear that
the '-A' and '-P' options cannot be used together.
• several typos in the dump(8) man page were corrected.
All users of dump are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

1.43.1. RHBA-2009:1072: bug fix update
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK
errata
RHBA-2009:1072

An updated dvd+rw-tools package that addresses a bug and corrects a typo is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The dvd+rw-tools package is a collection of tools to master DVD+RW/+R media.
• on some systems with manually-operated DVD drive trays (ie drives that cannot be closed
mechanically, such as most slim-line drive trays), burning data to DVD media would produce an
erroneous "Error writing to disk" alert. The data was, in fact, successfully burnt to the DVD and the
newly burnt DVD was then ejected. The inability of the drive tray to close mechanically, however,
caused dvd+rw-tools to return an "unable to reload tray" message which, in turn, caused the 'writing
to disk' error to present. With this update, dvd+rw-tools treats the underlying "START_STOP_UNIT"
message properly and, consequently, the misleading alert does not present. (

• a typo in the dvd+rw-tools.spec file was corrected. The "%{dist}" tag on the "Release" line
was corrected to "%{?dist}". The correction ensures an rpm can be built from the dvd+rw-tools
source even if a distribution is not defined in either the Makefile or your local ~/.rpmmacros file.
