What does /etc/redhat-release say? Also, paste your /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn_register config file as well. This appears to be a problem that we are seeing when the RHN servers know nothing about the release being presented. Ok, I feel a bit foolish. The next to last line of the error output I get
should have been a tip off to me - I don't have an /etc/redhat-release file, as
that rpm isn't installed on my system. My system is intended to be an IP
masquerading firewall only, so I stripped it down to the minimum number of rpms
it would let me, while not creating any dependency errors or causing the system
to run improperly (87, btw). I then decided I wanted to keep this system
uptodate, so I installed rhn_register and anything it said it had a dependency
on, which did not include the redhat-release rpm.
Let me add that now, and see what happens ...
It works just fine now. I guess the only bug, if there is one, is that the
rhn_register package should require that the redhat-release rpm be installed on
the system.
