[rhn-users] Cancelling a hung 'Activity Occuring' errata update

Hi!

I'm very new to RedHat Network so please bear with me if this is a question
with a stunningly obvious answer.

I successfully set up a subscription to a new EH4 server and began the
process of applying all the needed errata updates. All was fine til it got
to the errata RHSA-2005:092-14 (kernel security update). So far this has
been in the status 'Activity Occuring' for nearly four hours - which I can't
believe is right.

I cancelled the remaining pending events and rebooted the server - all seems
fine, but the Event History on RHN is still showing that RHSA-2005:092-14 is
in the status 'Activity Occuring'. And it seems no other errata can be
applied until this one completes (or is removed in some way).

Please does anyone know how I can get rid of it? I guess I could delete the
system from RHN and start again? I don't think it's a problem at the server
end, but am open to any suggestions!

Many thanks

David
