Description Dave Miller 2005-03-14 01:26:22 UTC
There was recently an errata issued for gaim.  I didn't know we had
gaim on said servers, and we have no reason for it to be there, so
instead of applying the errata, I went to the package lists for the
affected systems and queued the gaim package to be removed.  RHN
reports that the package removal was successful, however, it still
lists those systems as needing the errata, even though gaim is no
longer installed, and it should know that since the package removal
was requested via RHN and not done manually.

Comment 1 Dave Miller 2005-03-14 01:29:21 UTC
Logging into one of said systems and performing "up2date -p"
successfully cleared the errata from that system.  This would make
sense if I had run rpm -e from the system to get rid of it, but since
RHN itself asked the system to remove the package, it should have
already known that.

As you may already be aware, Red Hat is transitioning from the Red Hat Network (RHN) hosted interface to the Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) interface in July 2017. Red Hat has invested in and seen success from RHN for many years, and used that experience to build more robust technologies like RHSM. 
 
If you have not yet migrated your RHN systems to RHSM or you are a Red Hat Satellite customer, please review the information from. https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management#migration. 
 
Since we are shutting down RHN, no further actions will be taken with this bug or enhancement request.  You can find additional information at RHSM product page (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management).  If you have further questions, please contact support (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-subscription-management#support).
