Comment 3 James Laska 2008-02-19 13:44:08 UTC 
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.
