Description of problem: When RHEL 4.8 get registered to the server (I tried Spacewalk 1.0 but I assume the same issue with next version of Satellite), installation dates are shown with packages. That is surprising, given that RHEL 4 does not send the installation dates. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Spacewalk 1.0 # rpm -qf /usr/sbin/up2date up2date-4.8.1-33.el4_8.1 How reproducible: Tried once. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have Spacewalk/Satellite server. Have RHEL 4 client machine. 2. Register the machine to the server. 3. Run up2date -p. 4. Look up the profile on the server and go to Software > Packages > List/Remove: /rhn/systems/details/packages/PackageList.do?sid=... Actual results: The "Installed" colum is filled with timestamps matching the registration / up2date -p time. Expected results: N/A shown there, as the client did not send the installation date. Additional info: Mirek says that RHEL 4 does not send the installation dates and that if the client does not send the info, the column should be empty or say N/A. Currently, false information is shown.
