Fernando, have you seen this before?
Just saw this after trying to apply all updates to one of the servers. The following Packages are obsoleted by newer packages: Name-Version-Release obsoleted by Name-Version-Release ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jbossas-ejb3-1.0.0-0.2.rc9.CP04.el4s1.2 jbossas-4.2.0-3.GA_CP02.ep1.3.el4
Maybe this servers have some old version of the Red Hat Stacks product installed? This obsoletes was meant to remove and additional -ejb3 subpackage added in the first release. The funny thing is that this upgrade was tested by the Stacks QAing. I would try: 1) Uninstall the Stacks jbossas (completely) first. Remove jbossas and jbossas-ejb3 at least. 2) If that does not work, run up2date with -vvv to get more info and attach the log to this BZ. I am copying the Stack people.
If you are using jbossas 4.2.0, you no longer need jbossas-ejb3. The contents of the ejb3 subpackage were added to the jbossas package starting with 4.2.0...
Can this be closed?
