The quick&durty way is just erasing ant-x.y.z.rpm, ant-libs-x.y.z and elfutils-x.y.z.rpm from your RPM dir with updates.
This will work fine if you don 't need ant/elfutils packages.
But if you need them - you should look for jaf/others in order to update ant.
IMHO [you can see my posts in "RHEL quarterly updates " thread] we have a problem here:
RH recommends update existing system [RHL / RHEL] using RH[E]N only and *doesn 't provide a solution for upgrade RH[E]L box without connection to Internet*.
About 4 years ago [RHL 6.2 era ] RH provided RHL owners with CDROM with RPMs and smart script for updating existing RHL.
Jeremy Katz in this list recommended to use "up2date -k /diractory_with_rpms/ " in order to update system, but up2date doesn 't work without rhn_register, so we have to use Internet anyway.
Rgds,
Vitaly
