Description of problem: From the errata search page: https://rhn.redhat.com/network/errata/search.pxt Try to search for kernel-2.4.21-15.0.4 and select to search by package name. No results are found. ---- In a related issue, from the list of packaages for a channel: https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/channels/packages.pxt?cid=1181 Select any package you want to find an older version of. You are presented with the information about the latest version of the package. For instance: https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?pid=184112 At the top of the page is a link to "Newer Versions" which of course is empty, as you are looking at the newest version already. Perhaps it shold change to "Older Versions" and list the older versions (include a warning on that page mentioning that these packages are older for a reason, perhaps list the bug numbers fixed by each and changelog entries) and give the customer links to download those packages. This is important because of bugs where the workaround is to install the older version until the next Update comes out. Finding older versions of packages is curently a royal pain.
Errata search by package name/version/release is now implemented in r118937. It is therefore possible to search for either "kernel", "kernel-2.6.18" or "kernel-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5" in the package name field. Package architecture (like .i686, .x86_64 etc) or RPM package suffix (.rpm) are simply removed from the end of the search string and ignored.
For RFE regarding "Older versions"/"Newer versions" please submit a separate BZ. Thanks!
