And the idea, noted in the comments as a jerk move, of paywalling access to the critical step of a fix, is indeed a jerk move. (It's accessible to RHEL contractholders, but not to people using affected versions of CentOS...)

Clicking on the link in step 2 takes you to this:

I guess "errata" has become one of those "singular multitude" things like "data". An erratum, several errata.

@El_Heffe Ideally that content would be published under the GNU FDL and then CentOS would just rehost it thus making the subscription pointless.
Ideal for everyone else, that is. If Red Hat wants to make money they should sell support for their support.

It's in the context of two things being applied.

Doesn't change the fact that plural nouns need to go with plural verbs.

Alumnum. I'm sure you mean Alumnum. Or possibly Alumnium, depending on the side of the pond that you're not on.

I've always seen
errataas being always plural. Even if there's only one errata (erratum?) you still see the plural word and conjugation.

According to the old Hogan's Heroes TV show, the British pronounce it 'Aluminium' (al you min ee um)
