Thanks! I already had a log, that showed no more than I'd posted. I changed the debug level from 3 to 5, and got a *different* message... that led me on a short set of googling to find it wanted an FQDN, *not* the IP that was in up2date.

So, now I'm online... and back to the original problem: it says I need to update 32 packages, but then it fails with conflicts. I just ran rhn-profile-sync, and now it only wants to update 26 packages (I presume that some were upgraded.)

But I'm still getting conflicts, and I do *not* understand why, when they're upgrades, and should all go in fine.
