Description of problem: Satellite upgrade re-creates /etc/rhn/rhn.conf with default values, moves old rhn.conf file to /etc/rhn/rhn.conf.orig rpm upgrades would typically create .rpmnew instead of .orig. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Unknown, only have one Satellite box to upgrade. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RHEL 6.3 2.Install Satellite 5.4.1 3.Change mount points in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf away from default 4.Upgrade to Satellite 5.5.0 using upgrade option on script. Actual results: /etc/rhn/rhn.conf returned to RPM version with only Email carried across Expected results: Upgrade script should honour all changes to /etc/rhn/rhn.conf as mount_point is not always default. Additional info:
Not a bug - as per this is expected behaviour. Within the rhn-upgrade RPM's text documentation for doing an upgrade we state to back everything up. We then have a step to say - review rhn.conf and restore custom settings. Cliff
