Description Milan Kerslager 2002-10-31 01:16:05 UTC
I had a fresh install of RH 8.0. I registered machine with up2date --register.
Then run up2date -u. I've got this tracebac:

Comment 1 Milan Kerslager 2002-10-31 01:23:41 UTC
At the same time other system works ok (an up-to-date system which was
registered few days ago). So RHN server semms to be up (maybe wrong reply in
this reported case).

Comment 4 Mihai Ibanescu 2002-10-31 15:59:05 UTC
Should be "fixed" now. Can you please confirm?
[we tried to re-enable rpm header compressions and they were never tested with
the 8.0 client, therefore we didn't know they are broken. Hmmm. Reassigning to
rhnlib i.e. myself :-(

Comment 5 G.T. 2002-10-31 17:57:55 UTC
up2date works now! Thank you for  your help!


Comment 6 Milan Kerslager 2002-10-31 21:59:20 UTC
I have been able to run up2date succesfully.
I tryed to downgrade fetchmail and run up2date again. It works.
Seems to be fixed. Thanx.

Comment 7 Mihai Ibanescu 2002-10-31 22:02:15 UTC
Leaving this open to track the rhnlib bug.
