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

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

For anybody who has run into this problem, I have released new, updated versions of dell-bmcflash and dell-lsiflash that will fix this problem. The new versions have no files. :) Since they are obsolete, you should remove them if you have them installed, but for those who may not be aware, the new RPMs are basically just empty placeholders that will automatically upgrade any installed versions so they dont interfere.

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
