Slackware: amarok
LinuxSecurity.com: New Amarok packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and -current to fix security issues. In addition, new supporting libgpod packages are available for Slackware 11.0 and 12.0, since a newer version of libgpod than shipped with these releases is required to run Amarok version 1.4.10. The Magnatune music library plugin made insecure use of the /tmp directory, allowing malicious local users to overwrite files owned by the user running Amarok through symlink attacks. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename...=CVE-2008-3699

NAME

       whohas - find packages in various distributions' repositories

SYNTAX

       whohas [--no-threads] [--shallow] [--strict] [-d Dist1[,Dist2[,Dist3 etc.]]] pkgname

DESCRIPTION

       whohas  is  a command line tool to query package lists from the Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware (and linuxpack-
       ages.net), Source Mage, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Fink, MacPorts and Cygwin distributions.

OPTIONS

       --no-threads
	      Don't use multiple threads to query package lists (will be much slower)

       --shallow
	      Limit to one call per server. Faster, but loses some information, typically package size and release date.

       --strict
	      List only those packages that have exactly pkgname as their name.

       -d Dist1[,Dist2[,Dist3 etc.]]
	      Queries only for packages for the listed distributions.  Recognised  values  for	Dist1,	Dist2,	etc.  are  "archlinux",  "cygwin",
	      "debian", "fedora", "fink", "freebsd", "gentoo", "mandriva", "macports", "netbsd", "openbsd", "opensuse", "slackware", "sourcemage",
	      and "ubuntu".

       pkgname
	      Package name to query for

FILES

       whohas uses various files in ~/.whohas to cache package lists for some distributions.
