Hi,
I have a fresh install of RHEL5 i386, and it is registered with Redhat to receive all updates but I get the following when trying to do a yum update...
Code:

The thing is, all the dependencies I have checked are already installed, and same version number...
In your case, if you're paying for that, maybe RedHat is the place you should ask, as they are responsible to fix it.
Try to re-create the rpm database just in case
Code:
rpm --rebuilddb
Logical you would think. My license is only for access to the FAQ section, no email or phone support. My subscription card says 'Contact vendor for Technical Support' (Dell) I spent ~30 minutes going through the FAQ's, and it is all circa 2004 docs talking about 'up2date'.
I just tried rpm --rebuilddb, but the same outcome...
I logged in to RHN, and updated my subscription channels to also include the two following channels
RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 for 32-bit x86)
RHEL Desktop Supplementary (v. 5 for 32-bit x86)
Hi,
I am also coming across the same prob... Cud u please tell how to include more subscription channels? As for as i chked it tells only one base channel can be included. i donno how to include more than child channels. Thanx in advance...
