[Spacewalk-list] Package Updates Fail.

[Rob Becker]

I'm having some issues upgrading packages or installing errata on my
RHEL4 servers.  When I attempt to run a package or errata installation I
get an error from up2date saying files are missing.

Here are some examples.


[Tue Dec  8 10:25:28 2009] up2date A protocol error occurred: Not Found , attempt #1,
Tue Dec  8 10:25:28 2009] up2date File Not Found: GConf2-2.8.1-2.el4.i386

Error Message:
    Package not found
Error Class Code: 17
Error Class Info: File not found.
Explanation:
     An error has occurred while processing your request. If this problem
     persists please enter a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com.
     If you choose to submit the bug report, please be sure to include
     details of what you were trying to do when this error occurred and
     details on how to reproduce this problem.

So, I went and found GConf2-2.8.1-2.el4.i386 and installed it.  Next error was this:

up2date File Not Found: 
File Not Found: NetworkManager-0.3.1-5.el4.i386


Anyone have any ideas where these dependencies are coming from?  I've even attempted to install single packages that shouldn't have any dependencies.

Thanks a lot.
