Currently, the up2date-gnome RPM has the "/var/spool/up2date" directory. If you are running a server with no GNOME or X, and only install up2date, it when you try to run it, it will fail. Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 394, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 377, in main sys.exit(batchRun(onlyList, pkgNames, fullUpdate)) File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 190, in batchRun if totalSize > up2date.freeDiskSpace(): File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 925, in freeDiskSpace dfInfo = os.statvfs(cfg.readEntry("storageDir")) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/spool/up2date' The fix: Have the up2date RPM create/supply the /var/spool/up2date directory instead of the up2date-gnome RPM.

thanks for the report. This has been fixed in a forthcoming errata release of update agent due this week.
