I did an install of RHEL3 Update 1 and skipped RHN registration in firstboot. After rebooting, I registered the machine with RHN but did not apply any errata. Then I went to the RHN web UI and scheduled all relevant errata to be sent to the machine. Then I ran rhn_check on the client. It installed many errata and then tracebacked at the following point: Installing... 1:up2date ########################################### [100%] 2:up2date-gnome ########################################### [100%] New Up2date available Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/rhn_check", line 332, in ? try: File "/usr/sbin/rhn_check", line 209, in handle_action File "/usr/sbin/rhn_check", line 164, in run_action except: File "/usr/sbin/rhn_check", line 92, in do_call File "/usr/share/rhn/actions/errata.py", line 58, in update return packages.update(packagelist) File "/usr/share/rhn/actions/packages.py", line 357, in update # run the method, but move all the exception catching File "/usr/share/rhn/actions/packages.py", line 193, in _catchErrors File "/usr/share/rhn/actions/packages.py", line 396, in batchRun if pkgList: File "wrapper.py", line 1085, in batchRun up2date_client.up2dateErrors.Up2dateNeedsUpdateError Now I cannot open the RPM database. I assume that removing the __db.00* files in /var/lib/rpm will fix that, but I want to understand what went wrong in the first place.
