Description of problem: I installed yum-changelog on RHEL5Beta. Whent I try it I'll get: # yum --changelog install irqbalance Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "changelog" plugin Loading "rhnplugin" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories rhel-i386-server-5-beta 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

> Variable time in /usr/lib/yum-plugins/changelog.py on line 35 has value: > 11054988000 You mean variable "date", right? In that case it would seem that RHN server is giving out invalid dates. Not that I'm intimately aware how the RHN-yum marriage is done.
hey rhn guys? What's the word on this? Asking jbowes b/c he's the closest thing I know of to an rhn-guy.
Year passed so I retested this and it now work. Although another bug appear (see BZ 427987).
