Description Matt Domsch 2000-11-07 16:44:40 UTC

Retreiving packages for my i386 system running RHL7, using the GUI up2date 
2.0.6-1. 

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/gui.py", line 350, in doRetrieval
    self.setProgress)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 527, in getPackage
    raise CommunicationError(f.faultString)
up2date.CommunicationError: Error communicating with server.  The message 
was:
Invalid Architecture and OS release combination

I also have this problem. I found that it seems to occur when "Retreive source
RPM along with binary package." is checked in rhn configuration.

Comment 2 Preston Brown 2000-11-28 16:33:56 UTC

this has been corrected in an errata release of update agent due out this week.
