update_firmware failure: InventoryGenerator() takes no arguments (2given)

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

We just discussed this error yesterday on firmware-tools-devel at lists.us.dell.com. :)

Solution: "rpm -e dell-lsiflash; rpm -e dell-bmcflash"

Background: these two RPMs are now obsolete and replaced by the dell-dup package. I have an update queued for dell-dup that will use the proper RPM "Obsoletes:" tag, but havent yet released it.

Hi List,

I'm seeing the below error on all of our CentOS 5 (both 32 and 64 bit)  
systems. These boxes are up-to-date with the latest rpms, and I don't  
find this error message on Google. This is with firmware- 
tools-2.0.10-1.el5.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
-Jeff
