Description of problem: neither work: up2date kernel-headers up2date kernel-headers-2.4.9-e.27 up2date -u schedule update in rhn and rhn_check always up2date exits with: None of the packages you requested were found, or they are already updated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-2.8.46.3-1.2.1AS redhat-release: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 2.1 (Panama) all up2date except this bug ;)
Did you make sure to remove 'kernrel-*' from the exceptions list? If you did not do this during your initial run of up2date, you can run up2date-config, and click on the package-exceptions tab to change that. If it is removed, please let me know so I can investigate further. Also, please let me know if you have had any of the QU errata applied to 2.1ES.
yes, we did clear the pkgSkipList. up2date did download and update kernel-2.*rpm and if I remember well, also kernel-source, but NOT kernel-headers. That's why i filed the bug, because after updating >10 packages via RHN, kernel-headers remained in the "to-update" list.
