Description John Sullivan 2020-01-07 17:53:45 UTC

A new version of mate-applet-softupd is available from the upstream github repository at:

https://github.com/assen-totin/mate-applet-softupd

(He doesn't appear to be updating the website at http://www.zavedil.com/mate-software-updates-applet/ any more, so you may also want to change the URL field of the specfile as well.)

This stops the applet segfaulting every Friday.

(Basically, spawning the backend update-check processes leaks a pipe file descriptor on every check. This happens every 10 minutes. Just shy of a full week later, this causes it to exceed ulimit NOFILE, and the next pipe call fails, which due to a lack of error checking in turn causes an fdopen() call to return NULL, followed by a segfault attempting to use that returned pointer.)
