The RHEL 5.3 client does not have this code fix. This was/should be fixed within the RHEL 5.4 beta client code - see bug 476899 tracking the RHEL 5.4 release. 

Please re-test this with the RHEL 5.4 client. To me looks like the server side (from rhn_check output) correctly sent down the arch information needed. 

Thanks,
Cliff

Confirmed. 5.4 client performs as expected.

Comment 4 Brandon Perkins 2009-08-11 14:43:11 UTC

rhnlib-2.2.7-2.el5
rhnsd-4.7.0-4.el5
rhn-client-tools-0.4.20-9.el5
