From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: This appears to be a duplicate of bug 54822. I don't have a log of the output of 'up2date' (version 2.5.4) because I used the Red Hat Network icon to update my kernel (from 2.4.9-6 to 2.4.9-12). I reported this problem to Red Hat Support (Service Request 194647), and after following several suggestions and requests for data, I updated the kernel "by hand" (editing /etc/lilo.conf, and running 'mkinitrd' and 'lilo'). The remaining problem is that 'up2date' does not recognize that the kernel has been updated (successful reboot, both with a boot diskette and without). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on the Red Hat Network icon to start the Red Hat Network Agent. 2. Click on 'Next' button and wait for 'Update agent progress' to complete. Actual Results: When the 'Packages Flagged to be Skipped' dialog is displayed, it erroneously includes the package name 'kernel', version 2.4.9, release 12. Expected Results: This package should not be listed because it has already been installed. Instead, up2date should report that there are no packages to update. Additional info:
This should be fixed in the next version of the client. (updated kernels still being listed as needing update)
