Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-25 21:41:39 UTC
The sources file has moved to redhat-release/fedora-release.

Comment 2 Yusuf Goolamabbas 2004-10-26 05:14:39 UTC
should this not block 123268
an strace of up2date -u does not show it currently accessing
redhat-release/fedora-release



Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2004-10-26 18:47:30 UTC
re comment #2. The souces is still /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources,
only that file now lives in the "fedora-release" package.

Comment 4 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 22:43:29 UTC
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!


Comment 5 John Thacker 2006-10-29 15:05:46 UTC
Closing per lack of response to previous comment.  If this still occurs on FC3
or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to Fedora Legacy and the
appropriate version.  The bug could also be filed against RHEL if it is relevant
there.

up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully
supported versions of Fedora Core, so this bug will not be fixed unless it is a
security issue.
