Something changed in RHEL4 or RHEL5 that regressed the major release upgrade test result. This failure was not observed when upgrading from RHEL-4/U5 -> RHEL-5/U1. Retesting RHEL-4/U5 -> RHEL-5/U2 upgrades in KATE now. Will post back with results. This should help narrow down what introduces this change in behavior (a RHEL4 change or RHEL5 change). May also test RHEL-4/U6 -> RHEL-5/U1 upgrades. The combination should narrow down the guilty party.
