Bug 420671

This looks like an RHN header of some kind.  Bouncing it over there (and taking
a guess at the component).

Hi,

I was finally able to load the update through the command line using yum. The 
yum command kept giving me an error on the xen-libs dependcies. I removed the 
xen-lib package and reinstalled it and was able to install all updates through 
yum. However, I still not able to install any updates through the Software 
Updater gui.

The xen-lib issue was probably because your system is not subscribed to the
virtualization child channel for rhel. 

Ok, but how do I get pass the errors when using the Software Updater gui?

I get the following error when running software updater.

Can anyone please let me know if there is a solution to this problem. I can't 
update through the Software Updater. Is there a package I need to reinstall? 
Does this only only occur on 64bit architectures?

I don't have any problems using Software Updater on a 32bit architecture.
