[Mageia-dev] Freeze push: libzip (security update)

New vulnerabilities CVE-2012-1162 (heap overflow) and CVE-2012-1163 (integer
overflow) in libzip were recently announced.

libzip 0.10.1 has been released to fix these.  I have updated it in SVN and
confirmed it builds on current Cauldron.  I mentioned this earlier and Anne
submitted it to the build system, and it built, but one of the make check
tests failed.  I can't reproduce this, even on a stripped-down VM with no
extra -devel packages installed, so I'm thinking it was a transient issue on
the build system (as I've seen this happen before).  Can we please try
submitting it again?
