From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Description of problem: I am using Severn and attempted to run up2date. I downloaded the new rpm's for up2date. In accordance with the Red Hat document at: https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt ...I issued the command: rpm -Fvh up2date-* ...but nothing happens. On another machine running version 9 (non-beta), it works fine. When I run the version of up2date I'm using (3.1.46), it attempts to register me. Even though I select 'existing account', it asks for my personal information. After up2date collects information about my installed packages, I click [Forward] twice. Then I get an error message: Problem registering username. I got the same results with 'new account' instead of 'existing account'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-3.1.23.2-1.i386.rpm up2date-gnome-3.1.23.2-1.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. as superuser, run up2date. 2. follow prompts. 3. Actual Results: error message - Problem registering username. Expected Results: packages retrieved and installed. Additional info: Is Severn updateable?
try the up2date out of rawhide, the one on that page is for 9 (though, it should work as well, but just to rule out incompability issues) up2date-3.9.26-2.i386.rpm and up2date-gnome-3.9.26-2.i386.rpm http://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ (or whatever version is there when you check, rawhide gets updated often)
I downloaded the up2date packages and attempted to install. Package for rhnlib was also needed. I installed all packages and ran up2date. It says my system is fully updated and no new packages are needed. I guess that resolves this problem.
