up2date log file
My original comments labeled: Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to /var/spool/up2date and start installing and updating rpm's that were downloaded before the abort. 2. last one I installed was redhat-release-3WS-7.3 3. Then up2date -u started working again should be "steps to fix problem" It is reproduced by doing a clean install of RHEL3 and deleting the entitlement for the machine and reregistering it and then running up2date -u Thank you for submitting this issue for consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The release for which you requested us to review is now End of Life. Please See https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ If you would like Red Hat to re-consider your feature request for an active release, please re-open the request via appropriate support channels and provide additional supporting details about the importance of this issue. |
Description of problem: The first time I run up2date -u after installation of RHEL3 and registering the system, up2date fails. Here is the last up2date log entry: [Wed Nov 24 17:33:57 2004] up2date RPM error. The message was: Could not determine what version of Red Hat Linux you are running. If you get this error, try running rpm --rebuilddb Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel v3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to /var/spool/up2date and start installing and updating rpm's that were downloaded before the abort. 2. last one I installed was redhat-release-3WS-7.3 3. Then up2date -u started working again Actual results: I fixed it by installing redhat-release-3WS-7.3 Expected results: Now up2date is in sync with the system display for itostation3.bme.virginia.edu for user ito-rhadmin Additional info: rich gregory rtg2t
