[root@fjs-0-12 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7) [root@fjs-0-12 ~]# recreate: 1. provision rhel 4_u7 client 2. run update on all errata 3. some kernel stuff fails. 4. remove kernel from skiplist on client 5. rerun errata update.. two packages remain, listed above w/ the above error on client
recreated on both fjs-0-12 and fjs-0-18 step 5, rerun pkg update.. pkgs installed but still listed as updates
Looks like packages installed from ui are still listed as updates. 1. provision rhel4u7 client. 2. register it to satellite 3. go to SDC-> Software->Packages->Install. 4. Select the first 2 packages and 5. Schedule the install of the packages. 6. run rhn_check -vvv 7.notice that packages are successfully installed 8. go back to SDC->Packages->List/Remove 9. Notice that the 2 packages are listed in the list 10 Now go to SDC->Software->Packages->Install
After investigating using the latest code from git, these issues appear to already be resolved (i.e. not able to reproduce). It appears that: - the description, comment #1 and comment #2 related to errata/upgrades are likely addressed by the fix that was implemented with bug 498273 (modified 2009-05-06 13:50:03 EDT) - comment #3 related package installs appears to be a duplicate of bug 498295 (modified 2009-05-04 18:17:40) Since there have been multiple issues found in this area, I'm going to move this bugzilla to modified and then to on_qa so that it can go through verification, just in case this isn't a duplicate of the others.
