I'm having great difficulty with the "update agent (i.e. up2date).
Example:
In the following transcript up2date proceeds to download the newest pam update
and freezes before it begins to install the rpm. I ^C out of up2date.
[root@spiro1 /root]# up2date
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/gui.py", line 350, in doRetrieval
self.setProgress)
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 527, in getPackage
raise CommunicationError(f.faultString)
up2date.CommunicationError: Error communicating
with server. The message was:
Invalid Architecture and OS release combination
I run up2date again at which point it begins where it left off before, i.e. i
installs the pam rpm successfully.
[root@spiro1 /root]# up2date
/var/spool/up2date/pam-0.72-37.i386.rpm: md5 gpg
OK
[root@spiro1 /root]# up2date
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/gui.py", line 350
, in doRetrieval
self.setProgress)
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line
527, in getPackage
raise CommunicationError(f.faultString)
up2date.CommunicationError: Error communicating
with server. The message was:
Invalid Architecture and OS release combination
I'm running RH 7.0
Any Ideas?
Thank you.
Lou
