Description of problem: No functional package for updates. After installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Beta2 ("Client") I noticed that it does not check for automatic updates. As far as I understand up2date has been deprecated and is now supposedly replaced by rhn-client-tools and rhn-applet. Unfortunately running rhn-applet-gui produces an error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rhn-applet-gui", line 30, in ? import rhn_applet File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet.py", line 36, in ? from rhn_applet_model import rhnAppletModelGUI File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_model.py", line 25, in ? from rhn_sources import getSources, changedSources File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_sources.py", line 8, in ? from sourcesConfig import SourcesConfigFile ImportError: No module named sourcesConfig
Hi: up2date is actually replaced by yum. rhn-client-tools and yum-rhn-plugin provide the compataility layer to talk to RHN. rhn-applet has been replaced by the puplet program, which is included in the pirut package. By default it is not displayed on the gnome panel; it will only appear when there are updates to install. Hope this helps!
