Short - The message is harmless and can be safely ignored.

Longer - The new version of the comps package released with Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 3 U5 made reference to a package 'emacs-nox'. This 
package was originally going to be added in the U5 release as a new 
additional package in to the Enterprise Linux 3 channels on RHN and the 
install ISO's. This package though did not get released and so what is 
happening now is that up2date is parsing the comps.xml file and is just 
throwing a message about the package since it cannot find any data on it.
