Heh.  It helps to be properly caffeinated before sending email :)

Source system is RHEL4, and looking at the community repo for el-4 it
looks like yum-arch isn't able to successfully run, as headers.info is
a zero-length file; no metadata ergo, no packages.

Anyone around at Dell on a Friday to run yum-arch for a poor hapless
and under caffeinated sysadmin?

Thanks,
