[rhn-users] Im using up2date on a registered machine

[Alfred Hovdestad]

rpm --rebuilddb    rebuilds the rpm database from the installed package 
headers (look in /var/spool/up2date for the xml header file).

You can also try up2date -p after a rpm --rebuilddb to re-synchronize 
your list of installed packaged with RHN.

I guess the other thing to check is that you are subscribed to the 
correct channel (64 bit).
