[rhelv6-list] rebuilt package not showing selected for update

The only reason I would rebuild is if they release an update, in which
case I think I would be covered... but I may use the 2nd form anyway,
since as soon as I say I'll never need something will come up where I do
:)

Thanks,

Kevin

If there's ever the chance you would rebuild one of Red Hat's RPMs more
than once and wanted upgrades to work, you should use the second form.
This way you can change 2%{dist}.chevron.1 to 2%{dist}.chevron.2 and
upgrades will work.
