The specfile has /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net set at: %config(noreplace) %attr(0644,root,root) /etc/issue %config(noreplace) %attr(0644,root,root) /etc/issue.net Are you sure that you customized the correct file? The settings above mean that it should have saved your custom files in place and should have installed the new issue files with the .rpmnew extension. Affirmative on customizing the correct file. It appears as though it is not doing an upgrade but a removal of old package then installation of new one. If it helps, we are updating RHEL4 U2 --> RHEL4 U4. Here are the new files I find after running the update. issue.rpmsave is my customized file. [root@<server_name> etc]# ls -alh|grep issue -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76 Jul 18 20:38 issue -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 411 May 18 09:53 issue.backup -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 75 Jul 18 20:38 issue.net lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 22 10:49 issue.net.rpmsave -> /etc/issue -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 794 Aug 22 10:49 issue.rpmsave Here is a snippet of text of output displayed from up2date Installing /var/spool/up2date/glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.25.i386.rpm...

However, for the fix to work you have to start with a fixed version of redhat-release. Since you were going from U2 to U4 you were bitten by the triggers that existed in the old U2 package. See #162154 for background. Now that you have a fixed package installed, your next upgrade should behave the way you expect. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 162154 *** |
