Reverting to RHN up2date
I'm new to linux, and I've probably goofed up my system a bit. I'm using RHEL ES4, and I tried to change the repositories for updating my system when I wanted to upgrade MySQL. I played with yum a bit and also tried to use the CentOS repo. I followed some instructions to use CentOS from someone's blog, but I can't remember the link.
How can I get my system back to the default RHN up2date configuration? When I click the update icon next to the date in the upper right corner of the desktop, it opens CentOS Network Alert Notification Tool instead of Red Hats update tool. When I click the "launch up2date" button, I get the CentOS Update Agent. |
It looks like you have installed up2date package from CentOS distro.
[root@cp ~]# rpm -qf `which up2date` up2date-4.4.5-1 Try to remove it and install up2date package for your RHEL4. |

1. remove this package from system:
# rpm -e up2date-4.4.69-25.centos4.7 2. find up2date-x.x.x.rpm package on distro CD/DVD or on rpm.pbone.net or wherever else, copy it to /tmp and run : # rpm -ivvh /tmp/up2date-x.x.x.rpm |
Progress!
I got up2date installed, but I'm getting a new error. Code:
up2date --showall Code:

try to check and reinstall redhat-release package:

try to reinstall it the same way you did it for up2date package - delete this one, then download new package and install it.
