[rhn-users] up2date broken

Fri Nov 18 14:28:12 UTC 2005

Hi

I have also this problem, I installed Red Hat ES v4 last week and I have 
been unable to update the system with up2date. Running the same command 
as Jesse doesn't take me as far has for him though. I get to the import 
repomd and then I can see it starts to fetch the Obsoletes list and then 
I get a Segmentation fault. I have manually updated the up2date client 
but that doesn't help. Being new to Red Hat i´m not sure what to do next.

I have tried to remove the system on RHN and register again, I have 
rebooted the server also but it all fails. Any suggestion is welcome 
since it feels a bit insecure to have 231 critical updates on RHN.

Regards Peter
