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

[Lamon, Frank III]

Try the info at this website:  http://www.shaftek.org/blog/archives/000188.html

I used the info and script from there to successfully rebuild an RPM database in about 30 minutes that our MQSeries guys ruined beyond repair. You'll need access to all the RPMs that are currently installed, easy enough in our case since our installs are via NFS anyway. -Good luck

What is the exact up2date command you are running (with flags) and what 
is the output of the "up2date --show-channels" command?
