[rhn-users] up2date won't update openoffice

[Chuck Campbell]

I have two machines running RHEL3-U5.  Both are dual Opteron, running
64 bit.  Both are entitles.  One is WS and one is ES.  Both behave identically
with respect to the information below.

When I run up2date, it tells me there are three packages for upgrading.

when I try to update these I get the following:

If I do an rpm -qa, I see that every one of these "packages added to your 
selection" is already installed, with an exact version and release match 
to the above list reported by up2date.

I did an up2date -p to re-synchronize, but it made no difference.  What gives?

What do I do to get past this problem?

thanks,
