From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: Despite the release notes saying that howl is an included package (and it was in the latest beta), the SRPMS do not appear to be present for i386 or x86_64. Release Notes: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/release-notes/as-x86/ RHEL4 SRPMS: http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/i386/SRPMS/ Bug#149189 complains about howl not being installed and having iptables rules setup for it, but doesn't address that howl is not available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Missing SRPMs, thus missing packages. Additional info:
This is an error in the release notes. Howl was removed between beta2 and gold.
The source may be missing, but the binaries are there (and you can't get rid of them if you want anything Gnomish installed).

Thank you for noting this issue. The howl package was erroneously added to the list of packages added to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. We apologize for this error. The website reference to that package will be removed. Thanks again!
