trying to change to rhel 3. same bug is still around with up2date-4.2.15-1 running `up2date-nox -i kernel-source` (with an empty removeSkipList), I still see: The following packages you requested are already updated: kernel-source ... on RHEL3 with kernel-source-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL installed. kernel-source-2.4.21-15.EL is the version of kernel-source that _should_ be considered most recent, and I think the error message is being triggered badly pkgsToInstallNotUpdate is set to ['kernel', 'kernel-modules'] with pkgsToInstallNotUpdate set to [] (the empty set), I still recieve the message: # up2date-nox kernel-source Fetching package list for channel: rhel-i386-ws-3... ######################################## Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-ws-3...

What other details would be useful? ugh. forgot to set pkgSkipList=[] retesting. After a thorough retest, the only real problem that I see is that the error message printed is: The following packages you requested are already updated: when really, the updates aren't applied without '-f' because the packages are in skip lists. Blocking rhnupr4u4 and rhnupr3u8 to track the progress of the release Moving bugs to the CanFix List Re-aligning to correct bug trackers Test plan: 1- Kickstart system to RHEL3 U6. 2- Install latest up2date and rhnlib from devserv.devel:/mnt/redhat/dist/3.0E-U8. 3- Verify /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date says "pkgSkipList=kernel*;" 4- Register system (up2date --nox --register). 5- Run up2date --nox -l. 6- Run up2date --nox -d kernel kernel-doc kernel-smp kernel-source. And I forgot to mention that, in step 4, you should register the test system to webqa or a satellite that has RHEL3 U7 synced, so there will be kernel updates available for the client. Retested on i386 with up2date-4.4.69-8 and rhnlib-1.8.7-1. [root@test07 root]# up2date --nox -d kernel kernel-doc kernel-smp kernel-source Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3...
