From Bugzilla Helper:User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-10; Linux) Description of problem: You require 206 for upgrade to 098 when upgrading the kernel as stated here on https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-098.html: "Before applying this update, make sure all previously released erratarelevant to your system have been applied, especially the additional packages from RHSA-2002:205 and RHSA-2002:206". Unfortunetly here as you can see I can not retrieve the rpm on https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-206.html as stated here: "kernel-2.4.18-17.7.x.i686.rpm File outdated by: RHSA-2003:098". So I figured that if I went to updates.redhat.com but unfortunetly I could not find it on there either. PLEASE INFORM me whether or not I actually I need this kernel patch to do update 098. If I do could you please tell me where to get it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):How reproducible:AlwaysSteps to Reproduce:1.go to webpage2.3. Additional info:
"the additional packages from RHSA-2002:205" what that intents to mean is the non-kernel packages from that advisory. You don't need the kernel itself from that advisory, but some of the requirements from the kernel are fullfilled by the OTHER packages from that advisory,
Those errata collectively added: hwcrypto, hwdata, modutils, modutils, MAKEDEV, dev, iptables, iptables-ipv6 (depending on the specific release of Red Hat Linux) in addition to kernels. which should really be applied either before or at the same time as rhsa-2003:098 kernels (2.4.18-27.7.x and 2.4.18-27.8.0). The newer kernels were all tested with the most recent versions of those utilities, as seen both in Red Hat Network and ftp.redhat.com (and mirror sites). Like Arjan said, grabbing the extra packages (everything but kernel-*) from those errata will keep you safe, and the note to grab packages from the previous errata is an extra reminder of where to look (also handled by normal package dependencies and RHN, like always). resolving bug as NOTABUG, feel free to reopen if I'm missing anything, or misinterpreted the report.
