Up2date, RHN, questions / Fatal Error Comm. w/ Server ?

[Clint]

I ran the rpm below at 7:20 on Nov 15 (both the applet and the debug 
info rpm's) but get the following error when using up2date from either 
the command line or the gui:

There was a fatal error communicating with the server.  The message was:

An HTTP error occurred:
URL: http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1/headers/header.info
Status Code: 404
Error Message: Not Found


I then ran the configuration for the applet available by right-clicking 
on the icon. I kept clicking forward, and a few alerts later get a 
Congratulations note.

Prior to running the rpm, I could get the updates via the command line.
