[rhn-users] Getting used to EL5

[Bill Watson]

Is this the correct list for problems when running EL5 and from GUI click
[Applications] [System Tools] [Software Updater]? If it is not, please
advise what forum is proper.

If so, then all the below plus while the updater was downloading
kdebase-3.5.4-15.el5.i386.rpm it had "An unhandled exception  has occurred.
This is most likely a bug. Please save the crash dump and file a detailed
report against Software Updater at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla .

Is this a *real* bug or simply the internet being flakey?

Thank you all,
Bill Watson

I am creating a new system from RH EL5 dvd. During the update mentioned
below, it complains: Missing dependency  xen-libs = 3.0.3-25.el5 is needed
by package xen.

What'd I goof up? Shouldn't this stuff be complete?

Then, unchecking the xen packages and the error that follows my sig line
happened. Retrying the upgrade seems to be working so far.

Thanks,

When I look at the RHN system management site, it says my new EL5 system is
up to date.

I started the gui 'Software Updater' and is has maybe a hundred packages
that need updating. RHN still shows I'm up to date. System 1008341045 for
any Red Hat folks who want to verify my assertions.

I started downloading updates and have waited the first of several hours of
downloads. RHN still shows the the pretty blue check box saying I'm up to
date.

Is this this broken or is this the proper RHN status? If this is how RHN is
supposed to work, is there an elegant way of remotely determining if a
system is up to date?

On a similar topic, is there a sample of yum configuration setup so it looks
at the most popular or RedHat repo's?

Thanks in advance,
Bill Watson
