Description Con Tassios 2004-06-08 00:15:38 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)

Description of problem:
Updating a RHEL 2.1AS (i686) system with up2date installs the package
redhat-release-as-2.1AS-11 replacing redhat-release-as-2.1AS-8.

The new release of this package appears to be specific to the Itanium,
although the server being updated is an i686.

/etc/issue now reports the release as 'Derry' instead of 'Pensacola'
and the release notes in /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-as-2.1AS are
for the Itanium.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-release-as-2.1AS-11

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update an existing RHEL 2.1AS i686 system using up2date
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  redhat-release-as replaced with ia64 version

Expected Results:  Retain existing architecture specific files

Additional info:

Where did you get the ia64 package from? Was it from RHN?
Comment 2 Con Tassios 2004-06-08 00:32:35 UTC 
Yes it was from RHN.
Comment 3 Johnray Fuller 2004-06-15 18:32:51 UTC 
FYI, the version on the ISO images appear to be correct. 

Only the RHN version is wrong.

Comment 4 John Flanagan 2005-04-11 19:19:54 UTC 
The redhat-release packages changed from noarch to arch in 2.1 Update 6.  This
should no longer be a problem.
