[rhn-users] up2date local repository

[Casey Feskens]

I've set up a local yum repository strictly for locally packaged
RPM's.  I've set up my own GPG key.  Can download and install
packages fine, but when it comes time to update, up2date --list
shows all of the RPM's from my local repository as needing
updating, even though the version string matches the installed
version and release.  I can't seem to get up2date to supply
verbose-enough logging to indicate why it thinks the package
still needs to be updated.  Ex:

[root at myhost rhn]# up2date --install httpd
Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3...
Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: local-rpms...

Why does up2date think my packages need to be updated?

Thanks for your help.

Take care,
