up2date

 

Hi,

 

Subsequent to the OMSA moving into the "hardware" repository, I can no
longer install OMSA via up2date.

 

It appears the repo_config and dellsysidpluginver variables are not be
configured properly.  Please note my output below.

 

Any help would be appreciated and if any additional info for debugging
would useful/required please let me know.
