So are the packages now available via errata?

I had a look on our satellite server but they are not there yet.

Thanks,
Pierre

Pierre, you should really be asking Red Hat support this kind of question.  The people looking at the BZ are engineers and not able to give you definitive answers, but support can.  Dave
