Bug 126528

changing comp to rhel4 

Blocking rhnupr4u4 and rhnupr3u8 to track the progress of the release

Moving bugs to the CanFix List

Now the user will be shown a warning message, but up2date will continue to run.

*** Bug 143686 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Re-aligning to correct bug trackers

"Retrieval/Installation" corresponds to "retrieveSource" (Comment: Retrieve
source RPM along with binary package) in the --nox version of up2date.

Packages tested:
up2date-4.4.69-8
rhnlib-1.8.7-1

This does not fail cleanly as hoped:

[root@test07 root]# up2date --get acroread

latest up2date and rhnlib packages:

/dist/3.0E-U8/up2date/4.4.69-10
/dist/3.0E-U8/rhnlib/1.8.7-3

up2date --get now fails with a proper warning message if the source RPM is not
found:

"warning: source RPM for acroread was not found."

The actual RPM does get retrieved:
