From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Using up2date to get 2.4.7-6 kernel results in a package conflict, using beta.rhns.redhat.com to download a tarball gives a 404. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: A1. remove kernel* from pkgSkipList A2. up2date --nox --download --update --test B1. select all 6 kernel packages on beta.rhns.redhat.com B2. click download selected packages B3. select i686 arch B4. click download selected packages Actual Results: A. RPM conflict error. The message was: Test install failed because of package conflicts: file /boot/System.map-2.4.7-6 conflicts between attempted installs of kernel-2.4.7-6 and kernel-2.4.7-6 B. 404 Error - File not found Expected Results: A. rpms downloaded B. tarball downloaded Additional info: B. same error occurs even with only one file that does not have multiple arches, such as kernel-source =ALL= other packages are current, via up2date. [root@chopin rhn]# rpm -q up2date up2date-2.6.0-7.x.37
This has been fixed in the most recent versions of the client. Basically, the package arch handling was broken, and has since been fixed.
Fixed in the latest code. Closing out.
