Description Kurt Bechstein 2013-11-25 19:32:56 UTC

Description of problem:
We have a Satellite Proxy Server that we use and I just logged into update the server to RHEL 6.5 with a standard yum update.  One of the packages that was to be updated was rhnlib.  The current version is rhnlib-2.5.22-12.el6.noarch and there appears to be an update to 2.5.22-15.el6.  However, a dependency of having a newer version of rhncfg is causing a conflict.  See below in the actual results for the exact conversation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhnlib-2.5.22-12.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Simply running a yum update rhnlib.
2.
3.

Actual results:

[root@rhnproxy1 ~]# yum -y update rhnlib
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.

This is not a but.  Apparently rhncfg was moved to a different RHN channel.  Once I added that channel everything worked as expected.  Please close this one out as it is not a bug.

Comment 3 Clifford Perry 2013-11-26 10:22:13 UTC

Yes, new rhnlib and rhncfg packages were released to coincide with each other. 

rhnlib is released in the main RHEL channels. 

rhncfg-* packages are released in the RHN Tools child channel. 

Closing out.
