Hello
I installed Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1, and updated up2date
packages (because of new rhn certificate) like described
on https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt,
but when i try: update -u i receive:

Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 835, in ?
     main()
   File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 623, in main
     pkgNames, fullUpdate, dryRun = dry_run))
   File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 778, in batchRun
     batch.run()
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateBatch.py", line 57, in run
     self.__findPackagesToUpdate()
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateBatch.py", line 89, in
__findPackagesToUpdate
     plist.run()
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 85, in run
     self.addObsoletePackages(obsList)
   File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 109, in
addObsoletePackages
     for p in obsoletePackages:
TypeError: loop over non-sequence

Why ?

Thanx
Michal
