Where is this package so that I can actually try to see what's going on?
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2007-05-01 13:08:52 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.
Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2007-05-03 01:46:47 UTC 
The hts package obsoletes itself with no version specified.  Fix the broken package.
Comment 14 James Antill 2007-06-25 19:57:24 UTC 
 Given that we want to fix this buy using yum-3.2.1 (I have a patch pending for
upstream), and yum-3.2.x breaks the rhn-plugin, I'm going to put a depends on
the fix for the rhn-plugin.

Comment 17 James Antill 2007-09-20 17:56:38 UTC 
 This obviously fails now, as we dropped the yum errata. Moving to 5.2.
