Hello, I just found an issue that might be the root cause of RHEL4 problems;
"releasever" is hard-coded as 3 in
/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/sourcesConfig.py
I noticed that up2date said it was pulling from
http://linux.dell.com/yum/software/mirrors-el3.txt
and wondered where the 3 came from. Eventually I found it:
grep -A3 FIXME /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/sourcesConfig.py
#FIXME:
releasever = "3"
I opened a bug, but in the meantime it might be best to hard-code el4
in dell-repository.el4
