Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kdelibs

permissions, even if the original file had more strict permissions
set.

The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.

Affected versions: 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
