    I'm trying to install the kernel source under Fedora
    Core 4. I receive the following error when attempting
    to install the source via up2date:

    antares:/etc/sysconfig/rhn> up2date --get-source kernel

    Fetching all package list for channel: fedora-unstable...
    An error has occurred:
    exceptions.TypeError
    See /var/log/up2date for more information

    I've listed the error in /var/log/up2date below.
    I installed FC4, then ran "yum update", and it
    updated 184 packages. Any ideas why this is
    failing? I also tried the
    "rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec"
    method to install the kernel, and received
    an error after a couple of minutes. This
    is unbelievable. All I want to do is install
    the kernel source code. BTW, I did install
    kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm.

    Entry from /var/log/up2date:
