[announce] firmware-tools conversions of Dell Update Packages pushed to default repo

[Tarun Reddy]

If I install dell_inventory_collector, bootstrap_firmware no longer  
works. I get the following error (Centos 5 x86_64)

[root at bigxen ~]# bootstrap_firmware

Removing the package reverts bootstrap_firmware to working again.
