Anything broken with linux.dell.com/repo or up2date?

Tue Feb 19 14:56:48 CST 2008

Kevin,

        I don't know if Dell changed the path or not, but when I received 
the 404 error, I tried backing up a level and tried again. I.E. I went to 
http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/el4/headers/ and got the same 404 
error. Went back up a level to http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/el4/ 
and received a directory listing. It appears that you or they missed an 
i386 directory. The correct path to the header.info file is --> 
http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/el4/i386/headers/header.info . Hope it 
helps,

Jerry

Anything broken with linux.dell.com/repo or up2date?

I just noticed that I receive this error when trying to use up2date on
my Dell RHEL EL4 system:
-bash-3.00# up2date --update
http://linux.dell.com/yum/software/mirrors-rhel4.txt
using mirror: http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/el4
There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was:

An HTTP error occurred:
URL: http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/el4/headers/header.info
Status Code: 404
Error Message: Not Found

-bash-3.00#

The message from /var/log/up2date is pasted in below my signature. This
seems to have been happening since 14 Feb. 

Any ideas what's causing this, or how to fix it? I searched in the
archives of this list for 'up2date' in the subjects, but didn't see
anything. Apologies if I overlooked something appropriate. Thanks for
your advice and suggestions.

-Kevin
